"I thought, for what I paid, that the property would be clean and well maintained. While it was clean, it had the old motel smell where you know it’s past its best before date. The toilet/bathroom didn’t have a door, the basin was old and stained and the soap holder was almost falling out of the wall. It’s just poorly maintained. I wouldn’t have had an issue if I paid $100 less, but I expect more at the price point. Not perfection or five star, but could have been much better!"
