Extremely sketchy outside, there was a woman drinking alcohol in front of the hotel. And random people on the corners, kinda wanted to just drive off. The staff was super friendly and nice and that’s what kept me from leaving. I did not like that they have glassed windows at check in, again, looks shady. The rooms are actually very clean and nice. But I would think twice about staying here again. I hope my car is safe out there
