The stay was ok. I stayed two nights and it sounded like there was drug dealing going on in the rooms around me. People coming and going all night long. Then they charged a damage deposit for smoking in the room when I was the only person who stayed there and I do not smoke! They were contacted and told as much and still charged. Beware of staying here!

The inside of the unit was clean and there was breakfast in the main lobby each morning. There was always someone on staff at the desk. However, the area of town was getting a bit run down and hobo's were all around. It didn't feel safe.
