Okay for the money, I think. But, I’ll try another place next time. There are 10 in the same area.
Pros:

Location-close to every restaurant imaginable, shops, clothing stores, craft store (Michael’s), banks; down the street from McDonald’s

Cons:

Dirty and old. Bring your own pillow and bar of soap. Hard to close and lock door. Creaky room door and outside doors. Walls are paper thin. (Bring ear plugs.)

Should’ve been way better for the price.
Pros:

The property location wasn’t terrible.

Cons:

The property has roaches. I didn’t expect to pay that much money for a place with disgusting bugs and a terrible mildew smell.
