Great value
Property was conveniently located, fairly priced, clean and the staff was friendly. Excellent value in my opinion. The property has obviously seen better days, everything is a little dated, my mattress had a low spot and probably should have been replaced by now. But the rooms were very clean. I'd happily stay here again when visiting my student at UA.

Good place for an economical stay.
When getting to my room I heard dog barking if I made a sound so I went to ask about it and the desk associate gave me what turned out to be a better room.
