Disgusting hotel
MOOOOOOLDDDDD!! All in the shower , bathtub faucet coming off the wall , the lights in the room stopped working , the microwave handle was broken off already. Very rude service don’t speak to you or explain anything at all . Charged deposit fee which the website never said that then also said to wait 10 business days to get money back ?

Cheap and dilapidated
Great wifi, TV works, fridge and microwave work, cheap ... But cheap gets you dilapidated, dirty rough towels, torn bedspread, toilet loose, paper thin walls so you know the neighbour hates his cousin, dirty parking lot. Pay more to stay at the motel 6 next door.

Weird vibe
The door handle did not work properly so the first key did nothing . Got into the room and looked like someone was there but decided to
Leave. Plenty of smoke bud by the door

Last minute cheap stay
This stay was a last-minute book for about 8 hours sleep. We just needed a Bed to sleep in and a shower to rinse off. The rooms are old and not up to date but There were no bugs I saw in the room nor outside. The check in was quick and the guy was nice. You get what you get for $49.
