Property felt safe and was very clean. The only issue I had was the elevator and walkway to our room felt stuffy and hot, and the room had a mildew-like smell to it. Other than that it was a safe and clean option to stay overnight. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Rug needs to be cleaned but otherwise very good. Hard to figure out exactly where the hotel is, recessed off the main road. Also shares the entry road with two busy fast food restaurants. Sometimes difficult to get back to the hotel after leaving for awhile
