some good, some so-so

They have short-term leases, which was essential for me. Room-cleaning service is available for an additional fee. The staff are friendly. No high-speed internet service is provided, but the building is within distance for cable internet (I had it run to my apartment). Various room sizes are available at different price points (e.g., mid-range was basically hotel-room-sized).
The location is pretty good. A city bus stop and a small plaza is an 8 minute walk away. A major grocery store is about an 8 minute drive away. A pool hall and a burger joint are across the street.
Some amenities are extra: local phone service is provided, but only for a limited time per month (further usage is billed by the minute). I recommend having cellular service if you want to talk a lot or call long-distance. Likewise, you're better off getting cable internet than using dial-up if you're a heavy Internet user, since the minutes add up fast.
