"From the moment I arrived it was pleasant experience. The front desk staff was very informative even at 2:00 in the morning. She answered all my questions without hesitation.I decided to extend my stay one more day. So that being said. I’d say it was a pretty good experience and yes, I’ll be back. Thank you."
