Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The first room I got had paint coming off of the walls in a corner from the ceiling to the floor and some kind of trash around the air conditioner. The second room had the smell of “meth” coming from another room. Then was told that the world put the money back on my card. Paid $81 for the room and got a receipt for $51. I’ll never stay here again!!!

This property look and smell like a crackhead infested motel. The rooms were disgusting, with water damage walls and roaches. I check in and check back out the same day. They stated that a manager would get in touch with me regarding a refund, but i've haven't heard from anyone regarding this issue.
