Room - good; parking lot - not.

The deluxe room was a clean, spacious room - was great for the four of us. Parking lot and exterior were a little disconcerting as we pulled in, but we had an overall good stay.

Came to understand after we checked out that the hotel uses some rooms as a half-way house. We were wondering what was up when there was an armed security officer in the lobby at 6 p.m. when we checked in and at 9:30 p.m. when we returned to the hotel.
