AAMAZING FOOD TRUCKS OUTSIDE, THE SMASH BURGERS. I like how old management had grape foliage in the check in area, could use some more ambient lighting. kinda dark, we were in the upgraded units and i wish it had a roku or something for the tv, the tvs are really old and pixilated. the young man working there was very nice, these are recommendations and not complaints.
