This was the perfect place for my daughters & I to stay! It was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. It has easy access to everywhere we needed to go and the parking was easy! I would highly recommend it!!! ##### Amy N.

The listing was accurate and it was convenient to drive to downtown. This offered a larger area than a hotel and was a good value. Would recommend this property for those that are looking for a little extra space and don’t mind a multi unit home apartment ##### Mathew K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ---
