"The overall stay was not bad. The neighborhood is terrible, the house it self was not terrible either but when I brought us some sanitary issues with the property management he acted like he did not know. I asked for my cleaning fee back that was included in the price with no response back. The communication stopped after the stay was over and nothing being done afterward! Beware of the property is all I have to say."

"The room was nice, spacious, good furniture. Lots of sitting surfaces, not just a bed. The hotel ambiance was fantastic, it is an attraction itself. Hotel residents are recognized and get nice treats. The restaurant and bar are very welcoming as well."
