Super cute place! When we checked in our room was still dirty, but the staff changed our room immediately. The area wasn’t the best but I didn’t feel unsafe either. It is nice that it was gated, but our key never worked to open it so we had to park and walk into the lobby each time we came through to get someone to open it for us. Management said it was recently damaged but being fixed. It was very close to a lot of things though which was nice.
