Good value, BUT there was a toothbrush beside the bed and a feminine pad wrapper inside one of the beds. The white sheets were all yellowish, though probably clean. If the room wasn't that inexpensive, I'd really be upset.

Kids running around the halls, knocking on doors and screaming for 2 days! No one did anything. The parents of those kids are considered the rudest of all. But the front desk staff member was rude, not helpful and either did not listen to the request I was making or couldn’t understand what I was saying. I left frustrated and when I looked back she was watching me walk out of the hotel with what I would refer to as a sarcastic, condescending smile on her face. I won’t be returning.

1. Eung on the front desk was excellent: polite, efficient, accommodating. 2. The property itself needs work. a) the bath/shower fixture was not attached to the wall and the handle did not adjust water temperature. b) there was only ONE luggage cart - eep! 3. The tv only had a list of channels, not programs.
