The facility is modern and clean. Vehicle theft and brekie in a common occurrence at this location. seem to care or he
Pros:

Clean up to date

Cons:

Very unsecure. Very unsafe with transients roaming parking lot. Very few cameras, targeted by criminals because the very high nightly rate attracts clientele with nice vehicles. Our truck box was broken into and many expensive items stolen. Has a reputation for theft. For $180 a night this location should have 24 hr security on the property. The locals everywhere we met claim this location has an epidemic of theft. Staff do not seem concerned. We will reconsider staying at this location until there is security on site monitoring the property.
