4/10 Fair

Front desk clueless/not helpful
Out of the 5 nights stayed, got 1 night of good sleep. From the slamming of the door next door, that shook the room, for hours on end I can only assume nefarious activity.
Paul, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay elsewhere
Do not recommend, overwhelming smell of Marijuana in the facility. Chair in the room was old and worn out, the bathroom was very outdated. Was so bad I didn't even stay just left. Wouldn't even have checked in but I had a non refundable reservation

Was first given a room someone else was checked into already. 2nd room, the tub was full of water. Front desk said they didn’t know why and to just try lifting the plug to let it drain. No one came to the room nor did anyone follow up.
