I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others who, like us, were deceived by the online photos. We weren’t expecting luxury, rather just a clean, simple place to sleep. Unfortunately, the problems began the moment we arrived. As soon as we stepped out of the car, we were hit with the strong smell of urine and a junkyard-like scene from the “RV parking.” Inside, the room reeked of must. Even with the door closed, daylight leaked through gaps on all sides. The bathroom was filthy: mold covered the shower, urine stains were visible around the toilet base, and someone’s old shaving items were still on the shower floor. The beds were uncomfortable, and the pillows, sheets, and towels were all stained with what appeared to be bodily fluids and dirt. The room was non-refundable, and although we only needed a few hours of rest, we were so disgusted that we couldn’t sleep at all. This place is an absolute dump and a potential health hazard. Avoid at all costs.

Cheap but not worth the savings.

The beds were very hard. Pillows were wafer-thin. The soap was the size of a pack of chiclets. Nowhere in the shower to put soap. The toilet needed human intervention in the top tank to flush and refill properly. Only coffee for breakfast. While the price was $100/night, it was not really worth it.
