Disliked: Amenities
The place is full of vargants and I had 2 doordash orders stolen before I gave up. The room itself was fine and the fridge was decent. The microwave was interesting as it has an unlock button you have to press before the door will open. I was using it in the middle of the night and it was dark so I didn't see it until I turned on the light. Just something to be aware of. Otherwise it was OK.
