Liked the location, check in and out very smooth, didn’t like 90 min presentation offer but it wasn’t overly aggressive, just initial offer at parking pass sign up and a follow-up phone call next day. Didn’t like thin walls and could hear neighbors and finding an open safety pin in middle of carpet. Had to replace bedroom remote battery’s and relocate tv box as it wouldn’t read remote sensor. Good value and had a good stay. Entry to the property is bordered by run down and grown up brush on the Right, ugly!!
