"had a late check in and early check out was very accommodating to use the safe at the property to get our keys since no one was there when we arrived/ left. the room was nice i think the best feature is they allow pets for just $25 i feel like most places cost more. the best where very soft and comfy the tv had good channels. the shower stayed hot for a long time there was some pink stuff on the floor but i just ran the hot water for a moment and it went away. parking was good to despise other...
