Definitely a good low cost option. Very clean. Impressed with the full sized refrigerator. Did have plastic on the mattress’s which really was no big deal. Good location with plenty of dining options.

Run down, gap in the door even when locked. Person above us stomped around and dropped things on the floor until 4am. Breakfast was just coffee. Beds had plastic shee mattress barrier, pillows sucked, and bed was old.
