Maria

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I have stayed here several times. The night staff (the couple) are very nice and accommodating and helpful. They helped me book a room in the middle of the night after several failed attempts thru Expedia, and they not only matched the prices they gave us the room for a bit less. Saved my daughter and I from not having a place to stay for that night. I will definitely stay there again.
