Taking a 3-day class at the local community college and didn't want to commute from home. Stayed here. Nice folks. The room I had even had a parking garage attached. I believe all of the units did. It was the least expensive and everything went smooth the entire 3 days.

It was a place to get some sleep. There were cobwebs in the corners and we had to kill about a dozen mosquitos that were in the room when we first went in. The bedding appeared to be clean and the beds were somewhat comfortable. The air conditioner would not come on with the switch on the unit. I was told the next morning that it only works with the remote that we didn't know about. $91/night was too much for the conditions.
