Not the best area. Didn't feel that safe but the room was clean and did not smell. Bed was not uncomfortable. No hot water at first for the shower but waited ten minutes and it did get hot.

Beside the price and the comfy bed there is no other good thing I can say about this hotel. Everything was completely run down. The room smelt so moldy the second we opened the door. And it was definitely not clean when we arrived. Sure the beds were made, but there were crumbs left on the rug, cobwebs in the corner in the bathroom & even broken price tag plastics left on the nightstand. I think the picture of how ancient the alarm clock was will tell it all!!

Don't understand why would someone who is paying for a room would have to leave after 7 days then leave for 3 days then be able to return that's ridiculous
