I highly recommend this property. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Breakfast was always good. Lots of food to choose from. It was always hot and fresh. The pancakes never disappointed. The ladies that served breakfast were always very nice. They made sure to keep things replenished and always kept the area spotless. I also liked that the property provided an unlimited amount of Dove products from bodywash, hand soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner in our room. That was a huge plus for me.

Overall the hotel was fine, no issues at the property. As soon as you leave the parking lot, the immediate and surrounding area is over run with meth heads on the streets and panhandlers. Super uneasy feeling pulling up to nearly every traffic light near the hotel.
