It’s pretty good extended state type of thing or you have people living there for period of time looks a little CD but it’s not everybody’s nice and considerate. The parking sucks though if you have an SUV, good luck there’s no elevator. See you’re walking upstairs. I hope you don’t have a lot of luggage. There’s three flights of stairs if you’re staying on the top, which is where I stayed but regardless, you’re walking up at least one flight maybe two flights of stairs. the rooms need some freshen it up they could really use a coat of paint, some scrubbing, the bathrooms, dingy dark. I get the impression that they’re clean, but you know I really think with the location of this place and the layout of the property if somebody would invest some money into this place, the return on their investment would be crazy outrageously high. This seems like the kind of place that you could charge $1000 a night to stay at but rooms are going for under 100 and it’s just because of a couple coats of paint And extended stay. This is a real real diamond in the rough here except for the diamonds a little rough still too

The room was clean and nice sized. The a/c doesnt seem to stay on, the tv has a weird tint and no sound. The biggest problem I had was the parking. The parking spaces were tiny and if you left then finding another one wasnt a guarantee. Its an okay place for the price it is.
