Always came through when me an my husband an 6 kids needed a long term stay. Always kept room clean an always showed concern. Yes it's alor of homeless people walking but that's anywhere truthfully. But they walk at night the lot several times so feels safe. They go out there way to make sure your good. Nice place to stay would always come back if needed.
