Room was clean and pet friendly. The bed head board was squeaky and really uncomfortable. When I went out around 11pm there were drug addicts going to rooms in the building. I immediately did not feel safe. I would never stay here again.

They didn’t have paper towels at all. Bathroom tap was leaking even after locking it tightly. Need to be more clean and bright
