"Awesome place to stay!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Staff was absolutely amazing. The place was clean, room was more than big enough for me and my friend. Any questions I had were answered promptly. The breakfast sandwich they offer with the room is absolutely delicious. This isn't crazy far from the shuttle pickup point either. I highly recommend this place to anyone and the price is amazing.
