The room was good, but the smell of bug spray lingering in the room was hard to take and the smell of cigarettes or pot from the room next to us was not very good either.

Front desk was extremely friendly, professional and informative. Honestly, this was probably my most enjoyable checkin experience anywhere. Off the Highway, so definitely noisy and the neighborhood looks like you’d expect. The room was mostly clean and tidy (We’re extra, we looked under the sofa couch and saw that it needed sweeping). Otherwise very nice!
