I had asked if I could check in early or at least drop off my luggage so I could enjoy my day. I was told I could and we made arrangements for this. Yet, when I got there it was locked and no one was around. She did not respond to any of my texts, until after the original check in time. Her daughter arrived 30 min. later. I would have been much more helpful to have just said, no early check in. Instead it ruined my whole day.
Cleanliness was par. The most glaring was the 5 black, larger than a sesame seed, things in the microwave. A sock on the front step. I would not sleep in that second bedroom, I took a look at the mattress, and it looked old and was only covered with a flimsy sheet. The other bedroom was better. No coffee machine, I don't count a little expresso machine, a coffee maker. I will stop here.
The neighborhood, I think is safe, but it definitely has some unkept properties, but really I think it is a fine working class neighborhood. I would come back at night when it was dark by myself,and was vigilant, but I felt relatively safe. I am a female by myself.
I wish I could give a better review, but it didn't start well, and I was not terribly impressed.
