Never again

The bathroom smelled of wet mop, the bedsheets and comforter had what looked like blood on them and really no place to sit things. The area was sketchy with lots of people walking around and sitting in parked cars in the parking lot.

The room was nice with the exception of a very slippery painted tub. The paint was peeling on the tub and it was hard to get out of because it was so slippery. The neighborhood was very sketchy.

No complaints on this place. While it is basic, it is reasonably priced and suitable for one night. Bed was comfortable and the room is a good size.
