Do not stay here. There is a homeless camp just outside the property. Actually right in front of where you park your car. Police were called the day before but they all came back. Furniture and debris all over the place. I was traveling by myself and did not feel safe. Moved to a different hotel. Couldn’t get a refund.

Overall, it was a good stay for the price. I will say that the mattress caves in when you lay down so it was really uncomfortable and housekeeping comes at like 8:30-9. That was way too early for us. Water pressure was great!
