Clean but too strict
Place was clean. Easy check in nice property updated rooms. The only thing I didn’t like was breakfast was an extra charge and they were really really strict on the no visitors when we are coming from out of town and I was just hoping my eight-year-old nephew could come visit my daughter, but they made it seem like it was strictly forbidden. It’s not like they were gonna have a Rager or anything. That’s why I can’t give them five stars or not locals that just came to trash the room. We’re coming to visit family out of town and we wouldn’t have stayed if they were gonna be so unwelcoming.

Definitely a MINUS not a BW plus!
The ac was NOT on in common areas and temp was 93, no shower chairs available, room stunk like old and stale smoke. Ac/ heat unit and bathroom fan LOUD! Big dead bug right in middle of floor. Water was barely above Luke warm at sink and tub. Place was dirty, the bedding and towels stunk!
