Not in a great neighborhood but parking lot was safe. The TV channel list was incorrect. Had to request a microwave to get one. But they did find one promptly. They wouldnt break a 20 bill I planned to use for a tip. But the bed and bathroom were very good and it was very quiet. Very clean. Hallway was under repair. Breakfast inferior to the Hampton Inn.

Crap Shoot Service

Sent a Credit Card authorization form for my employee who was staying so he would not have to come out of pocket any expenses for security deposit or anything - I sent the requested docs to the email i had received them from. My employee still needed to put a deposit down even though the form was sent. Horrible service.

air conditioning no plugged in

The only issue we had is that the air conditioning was unplugged and I had to get down on the floor to plug it in. It would have been nice to have this done for us.
