I was leery about the neighborhood but it was a nice quiet area. Convenient location. Several dining options within a 5 minute drive. We needed to check in early and it was no problem whatsoever. Room was updated and clean. Staff was very friendly. My wife forgot an expensive pair of sunglasses and the hotel found them and held on to them until she picked them up a few days later which to me speaks to integrity. I would stay here again.

Stayed here before. It is a nice place. Since the first time we went the prices per night have gone up a lot. We stay to go to the racetrack, we only did one night because of the price where we did multiple nights in the past.
