“In my opinion, this option caters to budget-conscious travelers seeking basic accommodation, but location and upkeep appear to be concerns. While affordability is a clear advantage near downtown and the stadium, reports of cleanliness issues and overall value suggest considering alternatives with slightly higher price points for a more comfortable stay. It seems like a viable choice only when cost is the absolute deciding factor.”
