I always felt safe with the locked entrances. Checkin was easy and quick. I stayed in two of the units. Beds were great, kitchen fairly well equipped. The biggest downside was the 'age'. They were old converted mills with exposed heat/air piping and it was SOOO annoying when they kicked on (which was frequently). Had to sit there with the remote and turn it up and down based on whether the unit was on or off. Unfortunately I moved into one of the monthly apartments now and it HVAC is even worse. Unbearable! But I love the 'attached' dog park - so convenient before/after work. Nieghborhood was active, lots of restaurants and things to do. Great for a short trip. But bring your earplugs!
