  Staying here has been nothing short of a true blessing for me and my four boys during one of the most important seasons of our lives. When we needed stability, comfort, and kindness the most, this place wrapped us in all three. From the very first day, the staff has shown us so much love, patience, and genuine care. It hasn’t just felt like a place to stay — it has truly felt like home. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, family-oriented, and even pet-friendly, which made everything feel even more comforting for us. The rooms are thoughtfully designed with a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, glass-top stove, and a beautiful bathroom that made everyday living feel easy and peaceful. Having fresh, clean linens daily and free washing and drying available was such a blessing and lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I honestly feel led to this place. While some may look at the price and hesitate, I can wholeheartedly say that for an extended stay, it is worth every single penny. The value goes far beyond the amenities — it’s in the way you’re treated. Melinda, the manager, is absolutely amazing — kind, understanding, and truly compassionate. Ashley, Michael, and every single staff member, including the housekeeping team, go above and beyond every day. Their warmth and dedication do not go unnoticed. I would recommend this extended stay to anyone who wants more than just a room — if you want a loving, supportive, home-away-from-home experience, this is the place. Amber Harris

  Room smelled of heavy incense musk. We noticed some very strange things in our room, including spots of black mold in the bathroom by the shower, literal hair somehow glossed into the paint along the baseboards and doorframe, as well as a strange red-brown stain on several walls. If I were of a more curious sort I would wonder of some sort of crime might have been committed here and been badly covered up, it was quite unnerving! The fan on our unit also sounded like it could be cleared for takeoff at any moment with how loud it was whirling away. In all, I could not in good faith recommend this place based on cleanliness alone. The room itself was of middling quality, no outside deck or lounge area.

  A good place for a long stay as they have kitchenettes. Unfortunately, it does mean food odors in the hallways. It's more than due for refurbishment, and the kitchen stove top was greasy. Fridge spotless, though.
