There is a manager on premises but there is an early check in fee of $8 and a late check in fee of the same amount. I found the place to be comfortable, safe and easy to walk to the main road for food or transportation. The fee per night is super reasonable. I booked one night first to check it out but then booked another 4 nights as I felt good there.

They don't tell you that you are going to be staying out other people in the same room. Then if you ask for a refund they expect you to go the property and talk to the manager and he tells you to check in, so that that the app shows you already checked in and then he doesn't want to give you your money.

5Would never stay there again! The rooms were tiny, and stuffed with bunk beds, the bathroom had holes in the walls, the parking was crazy. Now for single, traveling person, this might work. But I personally need my privacy.
