The property is clean and works for a quick stay, but the surrounding area is just a little rough. Evidence of prostitution and partying is only 1 street away. I think the property itself is safe enough

The property looked great. Room clean and well cared for. Unfortunately this sight is not for people or construction workers who need to stay for the week. No parking. Have to park out on the street. $4000 worth of tools that were locked up on the truck still managed to get stollen out of the work truck

Hotel was small but nice, and a good coffe shop across the street. It was clean, but I was disappointed that I found an apple core that had been left in the ice bucket. Service was friendly, will stay here again if we come back to the area.
