Try somewhere else

Well, the bed was broken down. Two small flat pillows. No coffee. Microwave blows the breaker at 45 seconds. Broken missing lights in hallway and room. Large room with spartan furniture. Desk help wasn't sure where the room was in the building. Mostly rent by week or month clientele with six broken down cars in the parking lot...

Decent and basic

Nice person at the desk. The room was very clean and sufficient for one night and a good night’s sleep. The lights between the beds didn’t work. Also, the microwave didn’t work.
