I believe the owners of this property have made a real effort to give a good experience for a reasonable price. Everything in the room was operational. The outside landscaping and pool area was above average. Things like the bedspread and curtains in the room were worn and shabby - they definitely need improvement.

They don't automatically return your deposit, which I was unaware of and it took several phone calls to an EXTREMELY rude staff member to finally get it back. Also, the entire outside of the property is teaming with homeless.

Nice clean room that I checked into and staying in for my 21 day stay. Front desk day employees both males were okay. I had a pleasant conversation Friday night at the front desk with a female employee who gets a 5 out ot 5 stars from me. I am suggesting to her boss/the manager/upper manager.that she deserves a merit increase of a considerable amount for her customer service skills while helping me z
