Positive: I loved everything and I am coming back already a couple days later after my last stay. The staff was absolutely beautiful I loved them all especially Victor, wouldn't have made it without him and everyone working and staying here is very respectful and extremely welcoming and calm. Facilities are great and clean. Private room is perfect, has a hair dryer and comfy warm double bed. Fan is a plus. The girlies know that fans are a must have. Overall the staff makes everyone feel like family and make sure you are safe and sound, it's great.
Negative: I can't think of anything
