"It is a super cute and in a great spot close to everything. When we got there the lights and plugs weren’t working. The staff was on it though and fixed the issue fast. The place was so clean. The coffee maker wasn’t working properly. The bed was horrible. Now I know that’s probably not a big deal for some but man. We only got two flat pillows but at the request of more they brought them fast. I do love it but not sure if I will go back until they get a way better mattress. Price was reasonable also."
