Besides the pimps, prostitutes, people smoking weed on the balcony, and the 1990’s computer desk chair positioned at the vanity, everything was fine.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great spot for a quick trip, clean room, did smell like cigarettes, but we got used to it quickly. My only quarrel was the door wouldn't open first try, it would take about 10+ tries to get the door open with the key. Other than that it was great, had A/C and was clean inside. Dog friendly too which was a bonus!
