"I stayed here by myself - which can always be a little nerve wracking as a woman. The staff was very friendly when I arrived and even helped me with the vending machine that was being a little finicky. My room was clean and the features worked fine - AC, mini fridge, water, toilet, etc. It was completely quiet during my stay with no sketchy people staying near me - I'm not even sure if anyone else was even on my floor, which was a nice change of place from other locations I've stayed at before....
