The room was clean. Housekeeping only came once during our 1 week stay. There's plenty of parking. The guests next door were outside in front of their room smoking which caused smoke to come into our room. These rooms are non-smoking.

The staff in the office during check in was really nice. The outside of the rooms in parking lots had trash everywhere. When we got to room it was clean, but both beds didn’t have comforters just sheets and the lamps next to the bed didn’t work. In the restroom there wasn’t any shampoo and conditioner. Definitely won’t be staying there again.
