I think the place in general and its location are just great. For the price as well compared to other places it's pretty good too well worth it. Although I do suggest that they manage their housekeeping staff better as they were pubic hairs and a used bar of soap left in the tub which everything else seem like it was clean just inside the tub it seems like they did not clean it. Other than that everything else was pretty okay better than what you'd expect for the price and the floors are very squeaky
