Why?
Call me a skeptic, but I'm wary of a motel that charges $60/night. That would be true if I was in Sterling Heights or Roseville.
Out in Washtenaw County, there is a "hotel" called the "Harmony House Hotel". It advertises at $49/night. A friend of mine that grew up in Ypsi jokes about how that place was super sketchy 15 years ago. It's not any better now.
That said, it is tragic what happened to that woman...and whether it happens in Corktown, Brightmoor, Toledo, or Grand Rapids, it's horrible.
BTW, the building has been listed for sale for several months...am curious if there has been any interest.
