This was a great place! I liked the area it was in and it’s close to everything. I liked the vibe of the place and the decorations. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was peeling paint but other than that it was good. There was a confusion about how to confirm the reservation but once I got a hold of the property management, I was able to complete the steps and they were very fast to respond. I would stay here again if I was in the area. A
