Had everything we needed for a quick overnight stop. If you’re a light sleeper, noise from other units might be bothersome. Recommend staying on second level so no one is above you. Clean and comfortable and felt safe.

Good room in a great location for a great price

Great location and clean and spacious room. TV in one room did not work-was not sure if it was simply meant to be a monitor for a computer or mobile device. Bathroom small-but worked for one person
