Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Starting with a positive— the room was clean, the staff was nice, the Fitness room was large. The downside was the motel feel, it was very noisy, and I didn’t feel safe, staying there by myself one of the nights because people were hanging out in the parking lot and seemed to be having some sort of gathering pretty late. It was noisy so I could hear them, but also I didn’t feel safe with people being right outside my door since I was on the first floor. If you are a single woman staying there if I would recommend being on one of the second floors just so it doesn’t feel so unsafe and exposed.

Liked: Cleanliness
The landscaping and grounds are very nice, but the room was a disappointment. Very strong cleaning product/chemical air freshener smell, and the windows don't open. I propped the door open to try to air out the room, but that's not an ideal solution for a solo woman traveler! Room was clean, just kind of sad.
