The hotel is maybe not bad, but the location is bad! On the property were homeless people and there was one room where different people went in and out. We asked for a refund, because we didn’t feel secure and went to a different hotel.

The hotel itself was fine. Room was clean but we did not feel safe staying. There were homeless people wandering the parking lot and a crazy woman driving erratically in the parking lot honking her horn, parking her car poorly for a second and then continued to drive around. It also seemed like drug deals were going on there. We didn't end up staying. Very unsafe location.
