Great place to stay !

The host was super nice and accomodated our needs/request for an extension cord and help to print something. The beds were super comfortable and clean. I was especially grateful for the hot water since many places don't have that. The location is close to restaurants and stores.

The bathroom sink leaked terribly, the bed had a LIVE spider under the comforter and there were cigarette burn marks in the blankets. Lady at the front desk was nice though. This is definitely a one night stay place if you need something cheap for the night.

Quick sleep

It was a small quaint room. We stopped to sleep for the night. So it met our needs. But the toilet seat was loose. It was a quiet place.
