The parking area was dark and water pools around making it had to get to the entrance. I saw some shady people walking area the parking area and the lighting was not good there also. The young man James was very nice and friendly, made me feel very comfortable. The room was clean. My only issue with the room is that the carpeted area was a bit dirty. The room could do with an air freshener to make it smell better. It was smelly just needed a nicer air freshener

Kimberly

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There was an overwhelming smell in my room, like super strong cleaning products. I found it very off-putting. It clung to every item I had with me (suitcase, clothes, phone charger, purse). I've run my clothes through the washing machine twice since getting home, and I can still smell it faintly. The parking lot was full of garbage and broken glass, and the parking garage was full of puddles despite being underground. The staff was nice and breakfast was fine.
