It located in a sketchy area. We have seen people hanging out in the lot smoking and in the stairs ways. The lady in the front checking in people seems unfriendly and mad. We stay here for 1 night at the most just rest and be on our way. The beds and pillows seem new and comfortable. It has a mini fridge and microwave. Its ok for a late check in and leave early kinda of stay.
