Everything was fine except when I went to get a check into my room, the maintenance guys were in there working and I had to get to family breakfast. I came back later that night. Everything seemed to be fine. Everything was working except for the heater in the bathroom That the switch wouldn’t turn on the heater. Other than that, the state was fine modest accommodations but clean. At check-in, the desk person notified me that I would have a downstairs room as I requested, which was nice. I would stay here again as it’s close to my cousins house

Overall good. Good part: - Check in is easy. - In walking distance to some fast food restaurants and stores. Could be improved: - The floor is slightly dirty (indicated by the slipper I brought with myself) - the outlet on the lamp does not fit my chargers so I can't use it

Let us in early, which was nice. There were lots of options for eateries close by. The one thing that stood out was the pillows were too large--it made it difficult to sleep. Would recommend bringing your own.
