Safe and Secured

I was driving from Oklahoma to Las Vegas alone and I like to stay here because of it being gated and secure. Especially when I am alone and pulling a trailer. The staff was awesome as well. If you stay in the rooms where you are allowed pets they are not as good as the standard rooms. I have stayed in both. But I guess that is expected if you are bringing animals.
