For the price; its was enough. I had stayed with other locations owned by different companies and I would say that this was very pleasant. Of course sharing a room with a complete stranger is not ideal but the facility was on point .

This is bare bones accommodations, but for the price, it is terrific. I needed a place to stay for one night (just 12 hours, to be exact), and this place was safe, secure, clean. I walked to some stores and restaurants. I got a hot shower and a good night's sleep.
