The hotel is new construction and is very clean with a contemporary decor. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable I have ever used in a hotel! The bathroom had a nice walk in shower with a glass door. Parking was free and easy and the parking lot was well-lit. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also free and had lots of good options. The location of the hotel is in a commercial type area but still felt very safe. Would definitely recommend and would stay there...

View of the back of a gas station, a McDonald’s and a liquor store…also very close to the freeway. All seems a bit sketch but really for Parkland wasn’t bad at all. Felt oddly safe. Very new and clean. My only complaint is staff checked everyone else but me and my party two hours early but made us come back. Didn’t seem to have authority to move us to a room that was ready and no willingness to even look and see. The rest was fine.
