I hate seeing businesses suffer the consequences of the demise of the surrounding area where "loiters" have taken over. I really do hope for the best that this can be turned around for those who have jobs there. They all seemed to be working hard. It does look like they are trying to make improvements. There were several people working and painting.
The room itself obviously had updates and was very clean. Housekeeping does a good job inside the rooms. The young man at the counter was very friendly, vending machines full.
My room was very clean and neat, but the outside public areas were just filth. But again...work is being done. The street and parking lot were just disgusting, scary people around. Once I was in my room, it was my vehicle I feared the most for. But all was OK!
Apparently, there is new management, and I hope he/she can save this little hotel because it is in a very good location for city convenience. But they are going to have to do something about the loiters around. It is obvious what they are up to, and this really hurts the businesses there.
