Typically, my stays here encounter lots of extra creepy crawling guests if you get my point. I basically can't bring in my suitcase unless I want to leave with stowaways. But this time, to my delight, NO BUGS at all. A nice clean room. Thank you thunderbird.

The young lady that checked me in was extremely kind and welcoming. I think that’s why I didn’t realize it wasn’t the best place. The bottom of the door in my room had a large gap. Big enough for someone to slide something under and unlock my door. There was also a 7x7 square hole in the ceiling

The room was very clean. The front desk was very nice and friendly. Housekeeping was even friendly when they came to the door to tell us it was check out time even granted us late check out without giving an attitude. Pleasant experience. The water in the shower stayed hot for hours.
