"One of the absolute kindest men in this city works security here— truly a Good Samaritan, helped me out when no one else did. Truly felt one of the greatest moments of humanity here."

"The atmosphere is safe and quite, and the rooms are a good size, clean, very affordable, and a Ralph's and Churches Chicken in walking distance. Also, they have EXTREMELY comfortable beds, a bathtub AND a shower (which is awesome), a small fridge AND a microwave (also awesome), and they will let you use their washer and dryer. If you plan to stay for a week or more you can negotiate an even better deal on the price. I LOVE this place (I almost didn't leave a review because I didn't want anyone else to know about this gem,,,)"

"Greed will always surface. 100% honest review. Stayed two nights & honestly rooms were pretty nice. Had my expensive road bike & used my OWN wash rag to clean. I tossed it & manager kept my deposit. Of course I tried contacting the manager & each time he hangs up while I'm speaking! Greedy & guilty as charged. They will try any tactic to keep your deposit so be aware. Business 101, low price with high deposit with hopes you do something. They even tried adding late check-out! I left 10:10am. Scam, crooks so beware."

"For the amount of money I paid ($55 if I remember correctly) I have absolutely no complaints. Good location, easy parking... But for that money don't expect much luxury. Only the basics are there. I was positively surprised to see a fridge and a microwave though. The lighting options in the rooms could easily be improved though. There are only ceiling lights in the room and one bathroom light over the sink. The lights are white and don't give any warmth. The bed was comfortable enough and the room was clean. The lady at the desk was nice and pleasing. I had to pay a $50 security deposit (can go up to $150 according to the signs). Even though I understand why, I am not the most comfortable doing so but they did give my money back quickly."
