Not good.

Hotel was in poor condition. There was a security deposit that I was not informed of until check in. The mini fridge had water on the shelves. The shower was barely working. I’d say you get what you pay for, but that would be generous.

First, the email address confirmation had the property's location about 5 miles away, so we had to "Google" the property to find it. The air conditioner would NOT cool the room. And showers from other rooms flooded our room through the walls and bathroom door casing. We couldn't leave fast enough. On the upside, the ice maker worked great!
