i liked the rooms size, it was great for my family. we slept on a pull out couch and it was pretty comfy and the kids got the seperate room with two queen beds. it was nice to have privacy without paying extra. location was great too.
i think the shower in my room wasnt working properly. maintenance came and made it worse, that was annoying. i called the manager three times about this issue but they didn't returned my call.
