Awesome manager! A bunch of us showed up an hour before check-in time and the rooms weren't ready due to washing machine issues (totally understandable; they weren't supposed to be ready for an hour regardless). The manager let me hang out in the lobby with my dog in order that we could stay cool in the 110 degree heat. Once my room was ready, I realized he upgraded me for free. The property was sparkling clean and included an operational hot tub and swimming pool. Be sure to book online ahead of time; this place can fill up quick. There was plenty of parking and the lot was in great shape; felt like a safe location, too.
