This place was really nice! Rooms were in excellent condition and very clean! Service was very nice and accommodating and regardless of the craziness rated before if I come through again I will stay here again!
The owner is very pleasant, nice clean room. Fresh laundry. Netflix and paramount plus included. Hot shower, no problems at all. Very satisfying and price is very good!
