Nah……… room 102 the ADA room has a key that doesn’t work, the room is Mc.Grubered out with all kinds of cool contraptions to make up for the lack of professional Maintence. There is a very interesting door stop that is also used as a screw to hold the door together, and the shower had zip ties to hold the head up !! #bonkers F*cking Genius Resourceful …..but yooo for the price a night and no deposit it’s safe and walking distance to a lot and no parking fee…. But yah…. I need to just pay extra for a regular hotel next time at another spot
