Solid Stay, Great Location!

convenient location good air conditioning delicious burger
The location was very convenient for getting around. The room had good air conditioning and kept me comfortable. I ordered a burger and fish and chips from the bar. The food was AMAZING!!!
The bathroom was small and made it difficult to move around. It was hard to sit on the toilet because it was very close to the wall.
