The hotel is maybe not bad, but the location is bad! On the property were homeless people and there was one room where different people went in and out. We asked for a refund, because we didn’t feel secure and went to a different hotel.

Great team if ppl that work great together. You can tell the team that cleans the rooms really take pride in their job. The rooms are freshly remodeled and even have a clean smell to them. The beds are so comfortable, almost to the point of being dangerous because you dont want to get up and get ready for the day.
