The stay was good but, the TV had lines through it and the volume would fade out or go super loud. Front desk attendant was helpful and friendly wish I had a name to mention. Room setup was great with two bed in the back and one up front. We stayed for 7 days would most definitely be returning in the future. Room service was ever other day so if want it every day you must request.
