If you are from out of town, especially a smaller city and are wondering how safe this area is, trust me this place is safe. We didn’t know what to expect, so the first night of walking around we had our eyes peeled. After walking around and taking the subway a few times we felt totally at home. People out late walking their dog will even give you a friendly wave and say his I think it’s mostly college and young families around this side of town. Going under the overpass was kinda like “oh man” the first time but there was never anything shady or anything happening at all. Love this location.
Just saying you have nothing to worry about. In fact, the reason you should absolutely stay here is because West City Cafe is only a block away. When we stumbled upon it, we were thrilled. They do southern breakfast better than the south! Get the chicken, biscuits and gravy.
Ok so the room is accurately described. I would add there are places where the roof slants and you will bonk you’re head a little if you’re not thinking, but it’s in no way a reason to not stay here.
There’s an AC unit that worked great when it got kinda stuffy, a great tv, clean bed, clean everything and the vibe is right on point. In fact the bed felt just like a clean hotel, which is always a little nicer than at home I think.
I was a little worried that the neighbors below would be bothered by us walking around, but I’m just saying to be considerate - it’s not a problem at all.
The bathroom is small for sure but I have no complaints. It was clean and there was even soap and extra towels. The light was good for doing make up.
Just stay here. It’s great. Don’t think it’s too far from anything cause the subways are safe, the streets are safe and it’s very close to a subway and buss stop. It never took us more than 20mins to get anywhere.
Thanks Rex. You da man.
