The room we had was on the front , it sounded like drag racing all night , and that really cut into my sleep. But the room was clean and comfy, the gal at the counter was nice . I think I would stay there again in a different room away from the street

Prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Outside seems a bit sketchy and run down, but the room interiors were clean and recently updated. You can’t go wrong here, especially for the price. If you’re planning a night out in the downtown area, this is a great value and easily walkable to all the nightlife.

Absolutely no amenities. No coffee machine, not even in the lobby either, I don't believe. Still using the "Night Check in Window". it's a stuffy little add on off of the main lobby. All that being said room was clean and cheap and for this trip it was what I was looking for.
