This property was affordable and very clean! The staff was amazing and pleasant and made sure my short stay was a great one. A lot of places to eat around the area, and it’s easy to get around and parking is easy also! About 25 mins away from the airport so that’s not bad either. Overall the property and stay was great!!

Everything was perfect - the only thing was that I was on a non smoking room and the hallway on our way to our room smelled like weed, and our room smelled like it aswell , and when we checked out and told front desk - they kinda were not concerned and stated it might be because there’s a dispensary next door . So I’m hoping it doesn’t alway smell like that - but over all the room was clean and I like the location so I’m willing to give it another try and hope it doesn’t smell like that on my next visit .
