It was pleasant enough and clean, but not good if you will want to make any meals in the “kitchenette” while you’re ther
Pros:

We went there because our power was out at home for a few days and it was nearby. The second room we were given and the common areas were clean and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The first room they gave us had not been cleaned and was a pigsty from the previous occupant. When I went downstairs to complain, the employee seemed completely unfazed by this, didn’t say anything, just gave us another room.

I knew it didn’t come with pots, pans, utensils coffee pot or dishes, but It would’ve been nice if it at least had pot, pan and coffee pot so I wouldn’t have had to bring them for a short stay. It seems that this place is really more for people that seem to live there and rent monthly or longer.
