an older property that could use some cosmetic touch-ups, but nothing that really matters. on the plus side, easy to get to, very quiet, parking lot very well lit. reserved a king bed, they gave me 2 kings in huge room. better pillows than most places. a/c worked great. for the price, a very good place to stay.
