We felt unsafe at that facility because there was so much noise from other guests and visitors late
Pros:

We were able to leave safely and no damage or burglary of our vehicle..

Cons:

Better lighting in the room with more space for clothes on a hanger, no mattress spring, a damaged toiletry tray above the bathroom sink, no role in shower in the bathroom as indicated in my reservation and not enough towels or washcloths and bedding.

Raising 2 out of 5 wouldn’t recommend at all if you have children!
Pros:

The views

Cons:

We had to switch rooms due to roaches. Them Then the staff tried to act as if we were lying and said usually people take pictures. So my family and I left until the manager came on shift and switched our room.
