I didn't like that they didn't have an elevator, but that's my only complaint! The room I had was nice and clean, the beds were hard, but somehow cozy and welcoming, and the property was well kept and clean!

Liked: Staff & service
This was an average hotel. Nothing special. The area was a little sketchy. Our Uber driver told us to be sure and not walk the area at all. The waffle houses were all locked down, you have to order at a window, no dine in. The pics on the description look nicer than what you actually get. Kinda like the McDonalds menu. It wasnt horrible. We slept good. BMFS was amazing.
