OK, but no for next time

Room was "clean", but I still checked for bed bugs. Sketchy and loud neighbors. Bumps in the night. I put the chair and stool in front of door. Chose because of availability and price, but will pay for better place next time.

Thank you

More of a Motel feel, but was very clean, comfy bed, decent breakfast, and 55-65 inch tv in bedroom. Negative thing would be accessing the place from the busy road and having to do a U-turn to access.
