Clean, quiet and friendly place. Will stay again in the future. The staff graciously let us check in early, 1300 hrs. After two nights of boondocking in 114° weather it was greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I like the location of this property. I didn't like several things: Carpets and sofas were getting worn out. Temperature of hallways and lobby was hot and uncomfortable. Apples and oranges were not fresh in the dining room. I went to pool and found out that there were buoyant matters like leaves so forth which made me feel that it was not being maintained. I visited gym and discovered that the running machine wasn't functional. I was charged $150/night and I do not think that I received what I paid for.
