The price was extremely reasonable. The property was nice. Comfortable bed. Has a nice pool and a variety of breakfast options. Would have liked the room to be a bit bigger. Their policy for extended stays was to clean the room every 3 days, but they a commodated us by providing fresh towels after the 2nd night. Staff was very friendly!
