Unfortunately I can give good rate to this property because the room was dirty. The bed was clean and comfortable. I hope the staff can do better job cleaning the rooms. I don’t feel comfortable giving this rate but I have do write the truth. The tv only has few channels the cable company does not have a lot of options.
