Very clean, staff friendly, breakfast was good, and Mexican restaurant on site was good and very convenient. Pet areas were not lighted- one was close to the road with a lot of holes,, and the other a very small area next to dumpsters and a steep hill without a fence which made it unsafe for pet and owner. Suggest at the very least install lighting in those areas.
