Though i appreciate the effort to "update" the rooms, they were dirty, blankets had questionable stains and residue left in the freezer. Also, the shower curtain had mildew stains.

Room was ice cold. No blankets on the bed only a very thin bedspread. We thought maybe housekeeping had missed it but when we called down to the front desk attendant said they didn’t have any.

The room smelled like cigarettes even tho it was a non smoker, the bed had plastic underneath it which made it have this annoying sound when you move. The place it was located was not the nicest neighborhood. Nothing wrong with the service, just the place was not nice

I was able to check in with no trouble. Staff was attentive. I was content w the condition of my room. It had obviously been renovated. Room was a little dusty but for the price I paid, I dont have any real complaints (you get what you pay for). I was able to sit outside and read in the center area, while my son slept. It wasnt quiet but it wasnt disturbingly loud. It was well lit, and I was comfortable. Overall I'd give this stay an 8/10. If you are trying to go on vacation while on a budget, this is truly the best of the worst.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The entire experience was unpleasant. Check in was difficult with the "receptionist" not being able to find the reservation and not communicating, at all, what was going on. Literally just bustling about w/o saying a word. Some other employee/owner breezed in behind their security barrier desk ,chatted a bit, glanced my way, all w/o a word. Gave serious creep vibes. Door to room was "flimsy". Floor in room was dirty. Bathroom had hair and a few dead bugs in various places, including a "hairball" smashed on the back of the door. Luckily I bought one of those extra door locks because around 1:30 am someone tried to enter the room. I didn't stay the 2nd night I had booked

Linen was clean. Unit was clean. But a lot of small ants appeared on bathroom sink in the middle of the night. No coffee. No shampoo. Towels were threadbare. Cheap compared to others. Would look for another place next time. Property is old and in need of renovation.

This place is horrible. Stay away at all cost. You have people who live there hanging out harassing you wanting to do drugs and hook up hanging outside all hours of the night. The staff doesn’t care about anything. First room they gave us was filthy. Black mold covered the shower curtain. Went back to front desk said something. They got an attitude but gave us another room. This room was just as bad. Filthy. Dirty sheets dirty towels. Mold in the bathroom. We ended up cutting our losses and leaving not staying there. We didn’t feel safe due to the harassment of the guys who lived there and it was just too dirty.
