I stayed for four nights, nothing dodgy happened but I won't come back! The room is basic - relatively clean and neat. But perhaps I was being rather naive, I didn't expect it to be one of those "drive-through" motels when the parking lot is right outside your door. There's no security - or if there was, I couldn't notice. When I arrived, some guys hung out in the parking lot, playing cards or whatever and it wasn't clear who they really were (guests? just people living nearby?). I actually almost cancelled it (I booked online and opted for a refundable rate, which made it not so cheap), but decided to fight my prejudice. The staff was not particularly smiley and welcoming, but they were actually helpful if I needed an advice, yet overall, the ambience was just a bit dodgy. I was lucky to have met a very good taxi driver - I don't drive, which means I simply don't exist in such towns - and he eventually said the last time he dropped me home, he was surprised I picked this hotel since it mostly draws a certain type of people whose business is questionable (so is, yes, the area). I travelled solo for research which required me to see performances until rather late. If I came back late, I had to ask the taxi driver to drop me right in front of my door, and watched me until I got inside since sometimes some strangers were around, and I just found their stare and mannerism suspicious. That insecure the place made me! So, thanks god nothing dodgy happened during my stay, but I definitely won't come back.!! Even with such slim budget, I do think we have much better options in the area.
