The property was generally clean and it was fine for our purposes, but the area is shady. All the corners surrounding the property are filled with prostitutes.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. I like that the parking lot has cameras and the front desk has a screen to monitor them. One late morning my husband checked to see if there was coffee in the lobby but there wasn’t. He turned around to leave and the front desk person told him to wait, and he made him coffee. They care about service and it shows. The room was great and larger than most.
