6/10 Good

I liked Patrick the manager always a available to help … but not the best part of town
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We didn’t even stay at the hotel because it was unsafe. There were crackheads hanging around and you could even rent the rooms by the hour. I would never recommend this hotel.
