They did not have the room ready by the time we arrived, had to wait two hours for it to be cleaned, and we had to get the room key from an office 3 miles away. Poor responsiveness on part of the staff. Save yourself the headache and book elsewhere.

Disliked: Staff & service
The vent from the microwave is greasy and it stinks up the whole place. I also couldn’t get any warm water to shower so I couldn’t shower not to mention figuring out how to turn on the shower was a hassle. Bed was pretty hard as well.
