"5 stars simply because of the cleanliness, comfortability and close proximity to most stores/ fast food restaurants. It was very affordable also. The breakfast is nice but they could've had a wider selection to choose from. One downside is you can hear through the walls so if someone's TV is up loud it can become annoying. But I still give it 5 stars."
