The room was spacious and classy. The bed was super comfortable.

The location proved problematic. I did not feel safe walking outside alone. I would avoid it in the future.

The parking situation was definitely a problem. I arrived and found no available spots. The staff directed me to a public parking lot nearby. This lot had people using drugs. breakfast was not great. It lacked healthy options.
