Everything seemed very good but the parking spaces seemed a little tight which is important when you’re trying to unload your car and the towels were a little thin.

My only complaint is that I was required to put down a $50.00 “security” deposit when I had prepaid for my stay. This STILL has not been refunded to my credit card - 6 days later.

This place is quite old , but affordable in a very expensive town. Parking lot and entrance are very tight for a full sized truck.
