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.

Overall it's been a nice stay. The area is a little shady feeling. On my walk back from the bus I had someone try to stop me to ask for drugs.
The property is clean and looks presentable. My room wasn't quite ready when I showed up at 4pm. The man behind the check in desk was kind enough to run and check on my room as well. It only took about 5 more minutes before I was able to get to my room.

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.
