The place was quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The cleanliness is what I wasn’t happy about, the floors, walls, and bathroom were dirty. If the cleanliness was better I would have given it a good rating.

I didn't sleep very well knowing that the guest next to me was selling drugs all night long. lots of traffic in a very small parking lot not very much room to park if you have bigger vehicle. the rooms were at least clean. staff friendly
