Great stay , just the entrance door code didn’t work the first night we stayed. Was giving another code & it didn’t work but communication was accurate & in a quick manner . The other guest in the units helped us get in and out safely. Very quiet neighborhood, clean & friendly folks. Entertainment was only 10 min away , I recommend this place to everyone that’s passing through that’s looking for a quiet clean unit to stay in . Thank you again

We loved our stay here! Another review had said the basement was a bad place to stay, but we didn’t feel that way at all. The space was comfortable, clean, and dry with a big soft bed, a coffee maker, and a huge bathtub. Our only disappointments were that the jets in the bathtub didn’t work & that the detergent pods we were supposed to get upon check in weren’t provided. We even encountered a maintenance issue in the room that was solved extremely quickly & professionally. Overall a great stay for a great price & we can’t wait to come back soon!
