Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Weights were missing from weight room. We were supposed to stay for 2 nights but when we went out to the parking lot after the 1st night, there was a car which had its tires and rims stolen and was propped up on 4 milk crates. We left after the 1st night. Stay at your own risk.

Juan at the front desk was very helpful. We were in town for the Chris Brown concert, and he was sure to advise about the venue, traffic, parking and restaurants.
