Would stay again!

Overall my stay was fine. The rooms are a little dated but they were clean and comfortable with good cold AC. The staff was very accommodating. Special shout out to Beth as I had a bit of a situation and without hesitation she helped me to remedy it. Thank you Beth. Easy access as your able to pull up right in front of your room so you don't have to be touring luggage far.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Staff was very friendly and nice. The area was in a very busy section but I didnt hear the road noise. The room was surprising. It exceeded my expectations. Very clean and comfortable. There are doggie pick-up bags available for your convenience which is great. Lots of grass to walk your pups on. The only reason i wouldnt give it a 5 star is that there are people living long term here. I saw things left outside the rooms and even a parole officer knocking on a tenants door. But I didnt fell unsafe here. It was convenient, clean and affordable.
