A Good Stay

helpful staff convenient location clean room

The staff were helpful and solved all my questions. The location proved convenient , being very near my family's party venue. My room was spacious and very clean , which I appreciated. The bed was super comfortable , allowing for restful sleep.

The entrance door was not locked at night , so anyone could enter the hallway. This made me a little unsafe , as I had to leave the room to use the bathroom.
