It’s my personal quirk, I know, but I make it a strict rule to never leave a negative review. I know that people are doing their best and that their recourses are smaller every year. So I cut them some slack and hope that you do too

This area is mild when it comes to safety. I would not be found walking around after sundown. As there is lots of homeless roaming about in the area. The hotel was fair and not
