I love the experience in here. Staffs are nice and helpful.
You can enjoy more discount for the prison tour as well.
However, the location is a bit far away form the centre of town.

I loved my stay here from check in to check out. Staff were great. Facilities were new and in working order. Totally appreciated the upgrade. It would have been excellent if they had a freezer and no construction during my stay. Unique place.
