I've stayed at the property twice. While the recent visit was excellent, a previous one was concerning, especially regarding the hotel clerk, a South Asian woman in her 20’s. First, the positive: it’s a convenient location, right where I-95 & I-295 meet. I go north to DC often, so it's a good resting stop. However, the advantages are also disadvantages. Because the property is located in a hub, people from all walks of life frequent it. One time, I saw a lot of loiterers hanging around and smoking. Nothing wrong with that, per say. But as a solo woman traveler, I was keeping a low profile. Well, the clerk either neglectfully or ignorantly tried hard to blow my cover, threatening my safety. First, she blurted out my room number in front of other guests. Later, I went to my car to when I encountered a very friendly truck driver. He was not threatening at all, but again, I was keeping a low profile. As such, as he checked in, I waited in the lobby as he finished. My plan was to go to my room only after he was out of sight. Well, the clerk had the nerve to not only ask me what I was doing in the lobby, failing to take my safety cue, but she asked if I was "with" the truck driver. Was she out of her mind? I was trying to keep a low profile, but she kept drawing attention to me, putting me at risk. I didn’t appreciate it and hope she learns to use more discretion.
