It was a good place to sleep kinda of. I got there at 10 and lights were off and people were pissed that I came in. I made noise cause I just had put my stuff away and change. Apparently wrong move? Idk. I didn’t love the vibe. They should have curtains to help with the light? Idk. Not the best vibe. I wouldn’t come back.
