7.8/10 Good! (1,118 reviews)
So grateful that we were able to check in early and the AC was excellent!!! Thank you so much!!! Good breakfast selection. The owner, the mom if I’m not mistaken was nice and always smiling and willing to help. Good location. No windows, so it’s not good if you’re claustrophobic. My lil kid didn’t like it because he cannot see if the sun is up or not (knowing if it’s daytime/nighttime). We’re not used of seeing ants in the room and there were ants on the floor. Kinda scary that they might crawl up to the bed but it didn’t happen so we’re so thankful.
