Stay here quite often. The area is not the greatest as there are homeless and sketchy people around, but the place is patrolled on a regular basis with ample lighting as well as cameras. Rooms are being modernized so the place is being worked on. The modern rooms are really nice. I've stayed in the older rooms and will not do that again. Paying the extra is worth it for sure. I feel until the cost of rooms match the other decent hotels, the hotel will draw those who cannot afford another location. Even if cost was equal to the ones like BW or Holl In, I would still chose this place based on location. Hwy access is super easy. Restaurant is amazing next door, and gas station across the way is open 24/7.
