Property was great. I don't like the additional $29 parking fee per day though. I feel like this should be included. Otherwise a great stay.

While the area was nice, the staff in the front desk was kind of rude and not friendly at all. The rooms were super small for $280 per night. Walls are too thin so you can hear your neighbors watching a TV.

I didn’t like anything about this place. They charge you extra $30 a night for parking when you’re not even notified that this is what will happen until you check out the place smells like sewer and in some parts of the parking lot and a lot of areas are dirty.
