Good other than random person entering

It was good except after I was sleeping I got a knock on the door, I was confused and wasn’t sure if it was my door or the neighbors then someone was able to unlock my room and come in. I think it was a worker who got the wrong room to bring an extra pullout bed but kinda sucked being woken up and someone being able to access my room while I’m sleeping. Otherwise it was a good stay

Was Just OK . . .

It was a place to sleep and shower. It was good for that at least. The area was not desirable however. We witnessed a drug bust in the parking lot while walking out to dinner. Police had a guy on the ground, weapons drawn. People just walking around like it was nothing. Obvious drug area as there were many wandering around.
