    Best accommodation so far on my trip through the US.I travel on a low-cost basis, I just need a warm bed and a shower. Clean well equipped room with good access to the city center for a great price. I have stayed in worse locations for the same price much worse. Appreciated the washer and dryer. Great budget hotel.
