Clean room but the $50 cash deposit was odd. Needed to leave at 7:30am in the morning so had to bang on the window to wake up the clerk to get my cash back. Otherwise everything was fine and it was a good value.

It’s right by the border so it’s convenient. However, you have a lot of people coming in and out. It’s very loud so bring earplugs.
