"My bestie and I stayed here for our birthday vacation getaway, the place was decent, it was clean and staff was very respectful and polite. We had trouble getting into our room the first day but two awesome maintenance guys helped us out. We didn't bother getting breakfast here but I heard it was grab and go. We had a corner room and parking was easily accessible. I would definitely stay here again."
