I liked this hotel but the area around it is not good. There are signs all over the parking lot that say to park at your own risk. Junkies all over the place. I wasn’t able to have breakfast because it was closed at 9:45. Also, my left a shoe behind in my room. I’m came back to retrieve it a week later and I guess housekeeping threw it away.
