I traveled with my 7-year-old son. The area was safe, and had a great park with playground down the road. McDonalds and iHOP are right next door! We were able to drive downtown for aquarium and museum of science quickly and easily. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Just right for us! Thank you!
