"The main thing for my family and me is that we like privacy, but the problem is the curtains: there aren't enough rods to close them, especially on the first floor, and it was too bright for sleeping. And next door, we had no idea what their kids were doing at 3 a.m.; the whole wall and bed shook. It was so loud."

"For the price this was an ok place to stay again to save some bucks. The rooms are looking a little used and they only supply shampoo/conditioner in a bottle in the shower, small hand soap for sink & shower, no lotion or other separate condiments to use. It was for the most part clean, smelled fine when you walk in. Microwave was wobbly on top of the fridge under a shelf that was almost too high for me to reach to make coffee. It’s an ok place for the price. Staff was nice!"
