“While undergoing remodeling in a former office building, its location in a safe neighborhood near bars adds to its appeal. Though a bit hard to find initially, the comfortable mattresses promise a good night's sleep. In my opinion, this property has potential, and I think it is a good, affordable option to sleep.”
