Disliked: Staff & service
The property manager was drunk, refused to give me a room and I am requesting a full refund!
Leftovers sock from prior guests, which means they didnt vacuum but if you walk on the floor barefooted your feet become black from the damp squishy floor. Only gave us 2 towels and the door had major space around the doorframe. The atrendant was not even remotely friendly either. No "do not disturb" sign so they came in our room everyday and made beds.

Room was clean, plenty of parking, parking lot very well lit.
Accessible to lots of different places to eat.
Website should also list a $100 refundable deposit is required when you check in.
Safe parking. Slight run down. Definitely 2 star. One of bedsheets had stains that look like dried blood. Squeaky beds. Did not give me a wake up call. Only good thing is shower looks brand new
