Quick and easy check in, quiet. Clean room and comfy bed. Excellent if you're traveling and just need a spot to lay your head. Several restaurants and stores nearby.
This was pretty nice.
It's a bit outdated looking but it just a great job!
Beds are comfy, staff is nice.
A/C is super loud but white noise is not an issue for you, it's a great place.
Plus there are a lot of food options around
