A place to stay if you don’t mind Smells

The building itself is very old, and the entire inside reeks of cigarettes and marijuana. The room we stayed in had a door to connect to the room next to it, and they were smoking marijuana all night. Our room reeked. The only thing going for this place is they have really comfortable beds.

Room was clean. But very sketchy otherwise. Did not feel safe. People hanging out in hallways and by open doors. I think they probably live there. Dimos (bar/restaurant)was very clean and had great food. But i wont stay there again.

It’s definitely not the Hilton but the price was the best in the area. The room was clean, the staff is friendly and the TV & AC both work. What more do you need in a room you only need for sleeping?! I would definitely stay here again 👍
