This is a great place to stay, clean, quiet and you can park right next to your room. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the WiFi is really bad, I got 1 bar at best

The property was clean and parking was right outside your room. The room is pretty bare minimum, no fancy linens or pictures on the walls. BUT, it was super clean, quiet,and the bed was comfortable! AND, it had a fridge, microwave AND I was able to watch Netflix for free!
