OK, is it one of those extra deluxe hotels a few blocks away. No. But they're trying. They had a working microwave and small refrigerator. The staff was kind and helped us through a family emergency. I would stay there again. And they allow pets.

The owner doesn't do upkeep. He wants the $$ but doesn't provide amenities. The staff works hard. The work under tough conditions. It's a sketchy area and a lot of drug use goes on there. Our room had roaches. Tub was cracked. I do not recommend staying there if you have kids!!
