“The location is convenient, and some rooms have been updated with appealing plank flooring and decent TVs. However, cleanliness seems inconsistent, particularly in the bathrooms, and amenities like refrigerators and microwaves aren't guaranteed, even if advertised. If you need a basic overnight stay and are willing to overlook some flaws, it could work, but be prepared for possible issues.”
