It is a cozy, comfortable room. Nothing extravagant, but I’m only looking for a clean place to sleep. This fits that need.

There are little too many homeless and drug users but inside of the room is renovated and pretty clean. Staffs are all nice people.

Great location; good value for the money. Confirmation says check-out was 11 am but we were told 10 am with no exceptions. Too bad; was hoping to sleep in!
