Bart was absolutely AMAZING. She treated my sister and I like family. She checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. She took us to our blink 182 concert and was so funny. She definitely deserves a raise or promotion. We will be visiting again specifically because of her hospitality and friendliness. The room was very clean as well. The decor was really nice too. We loved our whole experience here.

Great property that has been recently renovated. Only complaint is that the grout is coming up by the bathroom and sticks to your feet. Guess they missed that area during renovation. Otherwise great place and would stay again.

My daughter and her friend attended a concert at the center right down the road so I ended up renting one room two bedrooms, the rooms were very clean and comfortable with a little kitchen area. The rooms were handicapped accessible as far as hearing doorbell but the bathroom wasn’t accessible so be careful when you order. This was a very nice stay and will highly recommend. Be careful because they charge a 50.00 deposit that is not in the advertisement anywhere!
