I very much loved the beds and pillows, they were so comfortable! Room was clean and spacious. I liked the fridge and microwave also. The front desk was super friendly, I just felt bad having to ring the bell. I thought I might be disrupting family or personal time. The outdoor side doors did not lock which concerned me slightly since anyone could enter, but I felt safe enough with deadbolt locked. Overall pleasant stay.

Bathroom horror
First we tried to cancel 1 of our rooms because our friend that was supposed to stay also is a first responder and was hurt responding to a fatal crash. They told ua since the room was already paid for there was nothing they could do. The bathroom in our room had holes punched into the door and wouldn't close and latch. The door knob didn't have working conection to the door frame. You had to straddle the sides of the shower because if you stepped in the middle it felt like you were going to go thru it. The toilet was so short it only came to about mid calf. No water pressure in the shower at all. I definitely wouldn't recommend this site for a stay to anyone.
