You get what you pay for and that ain’t bad
Low key budget hotel. Not the Tajmahal by any stretch-but you can see that.

Gross and out dated
Everything was gross. Dead bugs, hair and dirt in the bathroom walls, bed and bench felt like they were going to fall apart.

Paid for a room that I didn't get.
We showed up to check into in our paid in advance room to a sign that red no vacancy and the doors locked. I tried several times to call and knock bto get someone to come check me in to no avail. Wouldn't recommend at all

Uninhabitable!
The room was filthy, the weed smell was unreal, the ac was literally pulled away from the wall, there were wads of hair in the tub, and some mystery slime on the wall. We walked in, saw this madness, and walked right back out. It was uninhabitable.

Disgusting
The room was in disrepair, unclean bathroom (old dirty washcloth and trash in the tub); no pillowcases and old, stained pillows; torn up walls/paint; trash and dirty laundry all over the walkways outside, one towel, one roll of toilet paper; funky smelling room; tv didn't work; bed sounded broken or loose; everywhere outside the doors were pools of AC leakage.
Utterly disgusting.

Horrific
We left and they refused to refund our money. There were burn holes in the bedding, rusted bathroom fixtures, & plastic grocery bags stuck between a gap in the wall between the AC unit and the wall. Horrific property and room.

Not recomended for families
Stayed for 1 night. Whike checking in clerk was talkig to another staff member about somebody fighting. Walk into room and smelled bad like a smell was being covered up by spray. Bed super hard and a flat sheet and 1 thin fleece blanket provided. Curtain dis not close all the way so you could see in the room ( we were on the bottom floor )
