If you are looking for something close to downtown, this is quick drive. It’s perfect as a crash pad for groups. However, if you are concerned about staying in a safe neighborhood, do a quick Google search about this area. We were not victims of crime during our trip, but just some general information.

****Upon entering the “secured parking lot”, the parking lot gate was being held open by bungee cords- someone had rammed into it and it was completely destroyed. Another review mentioned the same thing in January 2022 so I’m not sure if this happens all the time…we made a call to Tom and left a voicemail. He called us back very quickly said that he wasn’t aware- he found out that it had recently been destroyed by a garbage truck and the HOA was disputing responsibility. Not sure if this was true or not but he was very nice and quick to return our call and explain the situation. He gave us the code to a secured lot across the street and told us we could park in there.
The cleanliness was not horrible but not super clean by any means. They definitely need to use a new cleaning service. The primary shower had pink grime and looked like it hadn’t be cleaned in quite some time. The hood fan in the kitchen had a lot of dust on it as well as a missing piece of moulding above it. The fridge had frozen meat in it which tells me that the cleaners didn’t open the fridge before our arrival…The floors did not not look like they were mopped or vacuumed- leaving bare feet black. The pull out sofa was identical to sleeping on bare mattress springs. Clean towels were left but not body sized so they were pretty tiny for the average sized adult. Overall, the layout was not a great place for a family to stay- but great for a group.
