Not worth the cost.. not close......
Pros:

It was clean.. but the advertising of this place is not at all what youd expect.. forget about that black n white countertop and space.. its 2 fullsize beds in a 14'×16' room, 1 mini fridge, tiny 700watt microwave, 6' dresser with 4 drawers, small circular table with 2 chairs and 2 wooden chairs, end table w/ lamp between the 2 beds, a 28-30" tv with Direct TV, air conditioner works great, bathroom consists of a tub, sink, and toilet.. if you bring a dog with you thats $75/night as well.. for around $2400 for a week, this place is not worth that.. False advertising 😑.. that blue building in the 46 or whatever pics on here is part of the establishment.. please do not be fooled by this place.. its not what you think when you get there.. im very disappointed.. yes its clean, yes the owner is a great guy in person, yes they help you if you need anything.. but those pictures on this are deceiving.. its not worth the price.. i saved for this for a year and expected to see whats in these pictures.. Just be aware.. sorry i had to do this, but the establishment should show the real rooms in full.. or charge less..i wish i took pics of the room, but didnt..

Cons:

Pros:

Location was great Staff was very friendly and nice.

Cons:

Elevator was very scary. Hotel was dated and old. Room was very small, carpet needed replacing, walls had peeling/cracked paint, celling had water stains, toilet did not flush well, bathtub filled with water when taking a shower. No hair dryer or amenities except shampoo.
