My stay was horrible and I don't recommend this place
Pros:

I liked nothing

Cons:

The staff!! I was not offered a discount or even a free night after finding a roach in my room!! I wasn't even able to obtain clean towels after 4pm because the front desk couldn't access them since housekeeping had left for the day!

Horrible for the price they charging
Pros:

I was able to see my car from my room

Cons:

That the fob didn't work they turn your key fob off @10 when check out is @11 if you stay and extra night they charges 20$ for check in early which I don't understand when I'm already in the room and I'm paying before my check out time.
I killed two roaches and got bitten by bedbugs I do have the pictures taking in the room.

It’s affordable. We had to stay there because we were relocating and missed out on few payments. So it worked out. Bu
Pros:

It’s close to Rivian.

Cons:

Rude staff. Lots of roaches and flies. They had the exterminator come by but the roaches are not just in the rooms. You can also see them running down the hallways.
