Overall the stay was fine. Parking was easy but the area overall made me double-check to make sure my car was okay. The sheets had stains so I didn’t sleep under the covers but the AC worked well and the TV had a lot of channels. The room was big which was nice and it had a table to write or eat at. But there was a strong smell to the place which was slightly unpleasant.
