This was a good budget friendly hotel. The room and bathroom were clean. The neighborhood felt safe and it was centrally located. My only concern was that the beds were pretty uncomfortable. My son’s and my back were both pretty sore each morning and while it was better than the floor it was still pretty rough. Plus due to the hardwood floors you could hear every movement from those in the room above.
