The room was clean and smelled clean. The front desk receptionist was nice but the lobby had an unwelcoming smell. I was nervous about the room on arrival and almost left but it turned out to be safe and quiet. They had a nice and simple continental breakfast, packaged pastries, bananas and coffee. To me that was perfect.

The room was clean and the management was very nice. The current remodeling of the pool made for difficult parking, but that will be remedied upon completion.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean. The grounds appeared to be under construction. Walking to the room was cumbersome. I was very upset that I was charged a $50 property fee. For what? No amenities at all and pool was under construction. Also I couldn’t get the card key to work and had to call the manager every time I wanted in the room.
