Pros:

The room was neat and clean, however it lacked any USB hookups. Wall sockets are worn, and do not hold plugs for charging. A few minor upgrades, and this would be perfect. Homeless are harmless, but they are around, and you need to watch your back. Overall it's a good deal for the price.

Pros:

Homeless in back lot. Homeless bike rider two doors down.
More like a Motel 6 than BW!
Only one hand towel and wash rag in bathroom. Kept asking for two and didn’t happen until third day of visit.
Never again here!
