Security guard needed. Did not escort us to “the new outside elevator” for guests - as the indoor one was for staff only. We felt very unsafe late at night. Stairwells were not secure. Room was dated and beds were awful - hard and cheap. They use 1/2 pillows. Actual room was nothing like picture. Staff was friendly enough but annoyed despite me being very polite about situation. Only stayed arrival night because it was too late to get another hotel. Did not eat there. Probably good for young adults on budget that aren’t worried about safety and comfort as much. Location very close to nightlife but just far enough away to have lurking people in parking lot we had to walk through to get to new elevator

The room was very clean and the staff were supper friendly and helpful. The only caveat was I wish there were more pictures of the “motel” versus hotel descriptions. So interesting to go through the parking lot to room and the concrete floors mean you hear every after midnight folks return to their rooms.
