Overall Score2.0/ 5
Our first room had a refrigerator that didn't work. We didn't realize it until it was too late and our food all spoiled. The screen door wasn't even on and bugs could get in. We had to move change moved after unpacking all of our belongings. The new room, the fridge didn't stay cold enough. Would not stay again.

Breakfast could be complimentary especially since it's limited. Walls were very thin. Could hear everything that went on next door. But room was clean and people were pleasant. It's also very convenient.to restaurants and activities in the area.
