Have stayed at that location back in 2021. But possibly because everything was still under co vid then it felt different
Pros:

Close to visiting family members home.

Cons:

Not enough parking. Worried a bit about that . Hotel did not ask about my car ( example license plate number, etc) so you did not have to worry if your car was removed .

Pros:

The hotel was fine The staff was. Attentive

Cons:

Outside of the building it was unbearable. Between the homeless encampments and the constant noise it was terrible.

Plus there was a fatal accident right outside my window in the middle of the night. Not good area
