10/10 Excellent
"One of the best renovations I’ve seen to date. Staff was excellent and very friendly. Absolutely loved the bed and very large bathroom. Very quiet neighborhood. I accidentally left windows down on rental car one night and no one took anything from vehicle which had sunglasses. Will only stay at this location in the future. Highly recommended!!!"
