Great location. Having said that I wouldn’t stay again. We payed nearly 400 a night and were placed in a strange room set up for wheelchairs. Odd set up. Massive locking doors on the interior. Cold - no coffee table in the living room section wasn’t what we expected. Squeaky bed! Staff at the office were not very welcoming Several interactions with them. It was just ok. Wouldn’t stay again.

This is a cute and quiet place. I love the fact that they give you breakfast in the morning and everyone in the office is so nice. The only thing I wish is that my air conditioning would work.

The night security guard is wonderful. Front desk closes at 11 pm so if you're arriving after that, you're out of luck. No phones in room for "cost-cutting." Second night, we got locked out of our room. Card malfunction. Got there after 11 pm so no way in. Walked around in the dark for a long time in the hope of finding the security guard. An hour later, we were let into our room. Hot water broke during the day so they had moved all guests to different rooms. We did not get notified about that so once we finally got in our room--1:00 am?--we found that out.
