Wow. I don't know what to say after reading the reviews. I feel over half of these people never stayed here. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that place. Everyone stays quiet, it's clean, it has a TV with good channels, a good sized fridge, microwave,it's just all around comfortable. The management was super friendly and the prices were good because of the prices and reviews I expected a lot worseand it exceeded my expectations drastically.
