The location was really excellent. yogi was super friendly and helpful. I am very grateful. the standard double room was warm because there was a radiator and an a/c fan and heater. very neat place!!!

Checking in was not a good experience. I was unsure if i was in the right place. i think better signage or more detailed instructions would improve this.
