Staff was kind. But, cleaning lady came in before check out. The room was fine and cozy. However, it was noisy at night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff responses very helpful and nice. Room was very clean. A little scary for me that there were no staff (am old woman) but very interesting and cost effective. There were a few loud noises outside both nights, late. I don’t believe they were other lodgers, more like trains or large trucks. If I were younger i would definitely recommend it mire heartily!

Disliked: Amenities
I love this business model! You stay without having to see or interact with anyone. The room had several thoughtful touches. With more small touches, this would be a great place to stay! There’s nothing wrong with it as is, for just a quick overnight, but I probably wouldn’t return. More specifically, the tv is too small, the bed is adequate but nothing more, the internet (and cell service) are terrible.

The access code upon arrival did not work. Checkout reminders even before check-in are in poor taste. No better or worse than an average room anywhere. Sticky floor, broken shower, but clean room, convenient location.

Conveniently located, but furniture was very basic- like someone screwed in pieces of plywood to form a headboard then stuck light behind it. Looked much better in pictures than in person.
