It was quiet, I felt safe and there were no bugs. I did have a couple small issues but they were immediately taken care of. The place is older and a little rough around the edges but none of that bothers me as long as it's quiet, safe and bug free!

Staff was unable to provide two room keys that worked. Then the only working key stopped working and another working one could not be produced. The front desk is often unstaffed so it is necessary to walk around the property to find someone who can help. When the toilet got stopped up, I was provided with a plunger stored in a plastic bag fouled with human waste.
