Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I did not stay the night there, I felt usafe. There was a stale/odd smell in the room and the room felt very accessible to the public, being on the ground floor (alone at night) with 2-3access points off the street at a major intersection in a what feels like an unsafe part of town. I walked to work after checking in and not 12-15mins away a body had been recovered in a nearby creek. Would like a refund. I didn't see any women staying there.
