The property is in a safe area and provides cleaning on a daily basis. Besides the no visiting rule that I feel gets ignored, I have no complaints.

Room was dated, but clean. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Easy parking right in front of our unit. TV was a bit difficult to operate. Could use more pillows of different densities.

Upon checking they requested a $100 cash deposit, which was weird. The sheets looked clean, but there was staining on the comforter. Pillows were quite lumpy, but the bed itself was comfortable and the hotel was very quiet.
