Do not stay here with kids. It felt unsafe. The lights in the bathroom didn't work and it felt like there were holes under the carpet when you walked. I would NOT recommend this place.

It was comfortable enough if you have a small budget. The problems were the ants, and the bathroom and towels were not properly cleaned. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciate the refrigerator and microwave in the room. I wish it was closer to restaurants or stores for snacks. I was hungry!
