The desk clerk saw immediately that I was a family traveler and suggested I inspect the hotel, a converted Howard Johnson's, before booking a room. Thank you. The hallways and the room I inspected were filthy. Residents (and they were clearly long term residents in this clearly subsidized housing) were doing business with the front desk through bullet proof glass, using a little window. In the short time I was there, a police cruiser swung through on patrol ( so crime must be a problem)' saw many in state tags on cars, so not travelers, groups of people loudly conversing or yelling in parking lots, laundry hung up to dry. The food being cooked in the rooms actually smelled good, but that's another sign that people are settled here in low cost housing rather than traveling. I didn't see roaches, but I have lived in even well maintained apartment buildings where they appear between sprayings, so I would put money on a thriving population. It was interesting to see the property, but I am eternally grateful to the considerate clerk.
