There is a manager on premises but there is an early check in fee of $8 and a late check in fee of the same amount. I found the place to be comfortable, safe and easy to walk to the main road for food or transportation. The fee per night is super reasonable. I booked one night first to check it out but then booked another 4 nights as I felt good there.

Scary Trap House

One night stands only for a hot shower and to escape bad weather. The residents who stay all day need to be evicted. The elderly that stay are absolutely kind and deserving. The rest of the staff need to be replaced. The neighbors on the street are always checking the people who stay at the house on the beat. Due to the constant trap house environment the honest customers are ran off the property.

Bed bugs, hot water games, sticky fingers, customers are not safe. Manager harasses, police calls, all the great trap house issues but over all needs to evict majority of everyone and management but the elderly.

Your Not The Customer Here

Seriously in need of evicting all residents and bringing in a solid house manager. Sticky fingers, bed bugs, dirty linens, fake love….. the closer to my leave date the more crazy the roommate behavior and the overall narcissist theatre continued

"Modern" Indeed

Difficult to find, no sign, appears to be a residence. Difficult check-in procedure and unprofessional service. Grimy and dirty. Rude patrons playing audio and being loud late because there are no rules. Many other patrons are clearly living there rather than traveling. Smoke detector chirps every minute or so. Woke to the sound of a rooster.

Awful

This place is TERRIBLE.
 Please don’t waste your money.
Book a better place, even if it costs a little more. I saw a review saying there was no toilet paper or soap, but there actually was. However, they didn’t give me a towel.
This place has nothing except a bed with a dirty blanket. This seems to be a place where people with no housing stay. They were complaining about everything, and that’s why their situations remain unstable. When you arrive, you’re given a bed, and someone else might be sleeping in the bunk below you. The other guests do nothing but stay there.
There was a pregnant woman who wouldn’t stop talking on the phone. She kept burping loudly, which was disgusting. Two men frequently came to her room (my room) and stayed all night. She even brought a TV from downstairs and set it up in the room. The volume was so loud, and they didn’t care if others were trying to sleep. They even turned off the lights during the day just to watch TV.
 One man didn’t bother knocking and opened the door while I was in the bathroom. The longer I stayed, the more problems I noticed with this place.
 Please choose a better place to stay to keep yourself safe and comfortable!
