8/10 Good
"Clean updated rooms and bathrooms. Air conditioning is a huge plus. The parking is very limited. I was very impressed with the size of the rooms and the bed was decently comfortable, just very loud when you move even slightly. The WiFi needs help, we got onto our Netflix and it kept pausing every few minutes until we gave up. No curtains to block out the morning light. Unfortunately I just find it overpriced."
