the room was clean and the queen room non-smoking was very spacious. location was pretty good, very walkable to shops. the reception lady was able to provide a bottle opener when i needed one, super helpful!!!

I could hear other guests going to the bathroom and speaking to each other. The walls seemed a little thin.

The staff let us check in early so we could park our car. We were able to leave the car a bit after checkout, it was helpful.

The room I had was dark. There were flies, I noticed wear and tear.
