The ladies staff were very amicable and professional! During my stay, there was no toilet paper, the ice machine was down and l had a hard time sleeping due to excessive noise from AC units by my window. I did not sleep well there due to loud noise outside my bedroom window due to fans straining excessively and making a very loud noise that kept me up or woke me up abruptly due to loud sounds of AC fans!
