Bad deal
As soon as I booked it online, not realizing it wasn't through the hotel directly, I needed to cancel due to travel plans change. I was charged and was unable to cancel.

The room was great very clean. I just didn’t like all the tweekers outside when I first was checking in. One of them approached my boyfriend’s daughter which is only 15 years old. Then he signaled out to some other guys that were riding around on bikes. Once we got inside it was nice. But it was the whole walking inside to the property that was not a good experience.
