You stay here because of the location and you need to sleep and shower. The walls are made of paper provides no sound proofing at all. You can hear next door breathing. Good luck if you want some sleep and your neighbors are alive. Not exaggerating at all. Otherwise it’s somewhat clean and tolerable to stay.

Not the best part of town, carbon dioxide alarm went off middle of night , took battery out and still couldn’t stop it, so packed up to just leave early (it was 4 am). Told clerk at front desk about it….she didn’t seem too concerned said “we should have called someone”. “Breakfast was minimal ……very basic . Would not stay there again.

There were some guys outside who were smoking and making a lot of noise who were making our stay uncomfortable.
