Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would recommend this place to anyone. Women might wanna be careful because it’s a shared space and there might be anyone in the next pod. Other than that the place is clean, there are barrooms and showers and the staff is amazing!!!!! I would come here again

Loved staying in the business pod - only complaint is that it wasn’t clean clean - bits of something on the floor and hair on the sheets - not mine! Other than that good and comfortable.
