Nice location - clean and fairly priced. Only complaint (and it’s small) as it good a long time to check in. Wouldn’t have been an issue but I had just driven 500 miles.

Not clean

This place did not seem clean to me &I felt very uncomfortable because of that. Looks like they tried to do upgrades but there was a lot of damage to doors, floors etc. I would not recommend this place. One good thing was location near downtown & train.
