Scene
Dated hotel surrounding large parking lot, with friendly atmosphere
This value hotel was built in the 1970s and has maintained that style over the decades. The check-in area is a small room on the ground floor with a dated couch, posters on the walls, tourism pamphlets, and a computer and printer. The front desk is behind a wood paneled wall that has a window where guests can speak to the person behind the desk. Despite this lack of polish, the hotel has a young, international clientele and a friendly atmosphere -- guests are known to gather and chat outside their rooms.
