Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Staff was very friendly and nice. The area was in a very busy section but I didnt hear the road noise. The room was surprising. It exceeded my expectations. Very clean and comfortable. There are doggie pick-up bags available for your convenience which is great. Lots of grass to walk your pups on. The only reason i wouldnt give it a 5 star is that there are people living long term here. I saw things left outside the rooms and even a parole officer knocking on a tenants door. But I didnt fell unsafe here. It was convenient, clean and affordable.

You get what you pay for. Rooms are outdated and smell moldy. There was melted chocolate stuck on my table. The beds were actually comfortable. Staff was friendly. Right next to the interstate so you hear the truck traffic all night long
