Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room is extremely out dated. The bathroom has mold in the ceiling, the tub looked like a mat had been ripped up, there was hair in the tub and it didn’t look clean. I laid down a towel in the tub to not step on the tub bottom. The sink was dirty in the bathtub was dirty. The furniture in the room is old and worn badly. The room also had an Oder to it. I do not recommend at all. Luckily for us we only needed a place to rest for the night and for the price…. You get what you pay for. It was so bad I brought my own towels in the room.
The check is for me was difficult from my own doing , but my check out was displeasing as I was accuse of stealing a blanket and they kept my deposit over it I never even slept more than 2 he's in this room how the hell did I take a blanket I new nothing about
