Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First and foremost, I want to say that the front office staff was very helpful and nice. Our room was clean and comfortable for the most part. The issue that we had that was quite noticeable was that it seemed like the property is also being used as a live in treatment facility for substance use disorder, so there were people wondering around the parking lot late at night and it just seemed like a sketchy environment. This was not advertised when booking the room which is something that should have been disclosed that way I could have made a decision on whether I booked or not. So be weary of this place. I feel our money went to the room fee for one of these sober living residents stay, due to being so overpriced. I can say the bed is comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place has been recently refinished but it is still really run down. The road is super noisy and the key cards don’t work so you have to go to the office every time. There is also some sort of outreach program that is going on with a lot of homeless people or recovery people staying here. Two mornings in a row we woke up to emergency vehicles picking up someone in the parking lot. Also, they charge a 29 dollar a night pet fee but no where for the pet to go potty on the property. 2 good things about this place are it is recently rehabbed and there is an excellent noodle restaurant across the street. I do not recommend staying here. The staff was nice.
