The exterior of the property was beautiful, however inside it gave apartment living vibes. The room was good just needed a little update. The location of the property was great, everything is in walking distance and so many activities to do in the day and night. Parking is a hassle, so we had to park inside the property for an additional cost. Other then that it was good.
