My stay was satisfactory, I only needed a place to lay down and wash and for the price I couldn’t beat it, check in is always fast and convenient.

4/10 Fair

The service was okay for what it is, but the cable didn't work, the bed was hard, and I wasn't provided a wifi code. Not a big deal, but it's definitely a "stay here if money is tight" kind of place.
