Very clean and nice property. Used to be a Hampton Inn, so no signage was a little difficult. I did feel very uncomfortable in the parking lot returning from event at 11pm, as it was very dark, no lighting in the parking area.

Sink & shower clogged
I’ve stayed here twice in the past couple of months (different rooms) and both times, the sinks have been clogged and during this past stay, the shower was also clogged. Not fun to shower and have the water collect around your ankles. 😒 Otherwise it would have been an okay stay.
