The front desk associate was great, and allowed us to check in early. The biggest issue is the lack of security and homeless people everywhere on the property. There was a man passed out right outside the pool for hours to where I began to be concerned if he was alive. I felt pretty unsafe here. Parking was horribly narrow. Room was clean, beds were not bad.
Disgusting. Staff is lazy and unresponsive to requests.

The property was not perfect, but it was enough to get by. You have to pay extra for wifi, but I didn't really have to utilize it while there. Besides Old Town, you have a large variety of stores like Target within walking distance. However, it's important to be cautious of your surroundings especially at night. I saw a lot of unpleasant things and suspicious people close by, but I kept my distance. Be safe and plan ahead.
The stay worked for what we needed it for. When I entered the room, I noticed that there was a drawer missing from the drawers. I also noticed that there were a slight damage to the wall in the room. There were only two towels available one of the beds mattress sunken as soon as you lie down, making it uncomfortable. The staff service was average at best. They didn’t do anything wrong, but they also didn’t really feel that they belong there.
Staff was nice . But rooms didnt have microwave, No lock on inside of room for safty since there is lots of homeless and drug issue people all around . No trash bags for trash , No chair to sit at Desk area and Bad Tv that was fussy picture and would freeze as well. Plus the loud sound of the train passing .the parking lot in tight , no large vehicles. I saw a mini Van struggling and hit the wall by the pool .
