Cassondra

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff were really nice. The property is run down but the beds were comfy. The drains in the sink and shower were slow. The shower curtain and towels and linens were all in their last legs. They allow transport trucks to park overnight in the parking lot in front of the rooms and they were loudly idling all night long. You can clearly hear all the traffic and people going by. The outside lights were bright and came through the curtains. They offered breakfast just note it’s really sugary and carb loaded. Waffles, cereal/instant oatmeal packs, breads and donuts, and some yogurt. If you need a cheap place to sleep and you’re exhausted, it’ll do the trick.

Older building, tired but kept up pretty well. The carpets and drapes along with furniture in good conditions. Less square footage, but it does cost less than most in the area. Good water pressure but the design lends itself to hearing your neighbors wheather in thext room or standing on the balcony smoking/socializing.
