Area is a little sketchy but they have lots of security in the area. I love how they are always cleaning. There was a lot of noise the first few days but i think i was surronded by young 20somethings. Not to be an old lady but they were pretty loud at almost midnight.

Great place, but...

This is my 3rd stay. The staff is consistently awesome. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. But...my first 2 stays were on the back side of the property - away from the street. This time, i was on the front side. The noise from traffic, street racers and the non-stop outside music from the nearby convenience store plus loud people outside made sleep nearly impossible. Sorry to cross this place off my list.
