Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very friendly and quick to check in and out the problem was the room it was nice at first look but as I stayed you could see all the sloppy finishes and the AC unit was extremely loud and turned on and off all night the property next door keeps their parking lot lit up very bright and the blind they have on that window is not room darkening so the room was very bright I would suggest a room darkening curtain as well as the blinds parking was convenient and their included breakfast was the best part ofy stay
