The room was nice and clean and the area felt safe but there is a lack of service provided by the facility. Once you get your keys, you are on your own. They do no answer there phones. Dialed about 20 times and no one answered to confirm check out.

Very clean and pleasant building in a convenient location. Room was very clean and newly refurbished, though spare. Fine by me! Great burritos and a nice 7-Eleven next door. Only caviat is that check-in is at a hotel a few miles away.

There is no staff, no front desk. Our key stopped working and I was unable to get up to my floor. Luckily someone let me up and my girl was in the room to let me in. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do since there is no one there to help. The walls are very thin and you can hear all the other guest yelling. There are long term guests there and a sign saying that the building will soon be homeless housing. The room itself was nice, bed was uncomfortable, but the room was spacious.
