8
Several guests explicitly call the property affordable/cozy for the price, though there are serious reports of deposit/theft concerns from one review; on balance many found the rate reasonable for what was offered.
Food and Beverage

Food/bev offerings are limited: no breakfast for some guests and a broken vending machine were noted, but coffee in the lounge was described as acceptable—moderately positive but limited service.
Overall Experience
7.7

Pros:

The shower had a hand-held wand which is important for a 5' tall female to be able to adequately shower. Only properties with hand-held shower wands will receive top ratings from me.

Very bad, people drinking and smoking marijuana there’s always piles of trash around the dumpster because the maintenan
Cons:

Somebody blew their head off and room 421, his roommate had the key and was scared to go in. The police were called three times and did nothing. if I didn’t go in the room, the person would’ve been dead in there until the room was due to be paid or the hallway started stinking. No one had courage but me to go in and find the person deceased, and I got thrown off the property and they stole $160 from me because they didn’t give me back the two days I didn’t stay that I paid for, and I’ve already talked to five other people they do the same thing to them. That’s why they don’t take a deposit because in the end they steal your money, stay away from this place, plus a girl got raped there four weeks ago and a guy killed himself a week ago there. I would stay away. The general manager is evil

Would not return
Pros:

Bed was comfortable enough

Cons:

Hallways reeked of weed and food. Key didn’t work, took awhile to get someone at the front desk, it was empty. TV didn’t work but was able to switch to another room. TV remotes were awful and hard to use.

Not at all what I expected based on the website information.
Pros:

The staff was friendly and nice. Blow dryers were free to borrow for use. Coffee in the lounge was ok. The fridge was a full-size fridge. The shower head was high for tall people. I left something behind, and within minutes of us leaving, I received a phone call from the staff.

Cons:

Could hear all the noise in the hall. If you needed dishes, cookware, or a coffee pot, you had to buy them; the website should indicate this. I've stayed in long-term and short-term places that always had the items I needed in the room. When I inquired about a hand towel to dry my hands, they didn't give them out or have any. The vending drink machine was broken. There is a single door to enter, but if you use the cart to bring in items, there is no way to hold the door(s) open by yourself. It takes two.
