The location was the positive point, but the facility itself is old & tired. Rooms were small and very basic & for the price not really value for money at all. Staff made you feel not welcoming and just going through motions. Bed comfortable another positive. Towels small, shower flow pretty average.

The manager changes every couple hours and they pretend to be absolutely exhausted every time you ask for something simple. I received 3 cards for my room that were not functional and the manager couldn’t use them, but would come back with the next and refused to speak to me. The TV didn’t work and the remote burned my leg, because they tape the batteries in; furthermore, at multiple times during the night I heard people banging on the door saying, “I know you’re in there…” with various swear words. Over and over I tried to call the front desk for help, they did not answer. I can say that the manager microwaved a cup noodles that I bought from a gas station on my way into town. But, he did not speak English. In the morning someone offered to sell me—I quote—“anything I needed for my stay.” He was not a tenant and threw up as I walked away. Genuinely the worst place I have ever staid in my entire life and it was absurd the lack of care they had. Promptly at 11am they unlocked my dead-bolted door and yelled at me to get out… yelled. Do not ever bring a family member or loved one here. Pay the extra few bills for a hotel room a mere block away.
