I am a bit conflicted about this review. I like this place and will stay again. I did have one recent experience that threw me off a bit. When I found a hypodermic needle next to my be while getting ready to check out. I had been in the room 5 days and it was in a tough place to reach. I was not really at much danger here, just wished this would have been found before I had taken over the room. Everything else is pretty good. Love the retro vibe here. Depending on the room you get the size can be great or a bit small. I stayed here 8 out of 11 nights i was in town in two different rooms. I will say I don't think these rooms air out well. After taking a shower and coming back hours later I always seems to get a muggy/wet smell in the air.
On the overall i would stay here again and would recommend them for anyone looking for a nice cheap place to stay downtown that also seem fairly secure.
