My stay

The place itself is conveniently located with amenities near by. Please note the AC is very loud and keeps you awake. Towels are old, Toilet was unable to flush, they offered to move me as the plumbers was unavailable for sometime. The chair in the room looked dirty, I did not sit on it. The microwave was smelly as it looks like the last guest warmed or cooked had curry or something like that in it, and it was not clean.

I feel bad for the owners here. This property needs a MAJOR cash investment. Here is just a brief list of issues in my room durung my 2 night stay. Terrible mattress. Chair so stained it looks like it just came out of the dumpster. Worn, chipped furniture. Bedside outlet not working. Zero water pressure in shower. Water takes several minutes to get warm. Water never gets hot, ever. Room door is cracked. Light comes in all around the room door. Rusty exhaust fan grill. Shower rod completely rusted. Had to pay $229 per night in what looks to be an old Motel 6. Im sure that this is a very tough business to make money in, and I'm sure that if the owners had the money they would fix it up. But it was just horrible. Sorry but i will not ba staying there again.

It was cheap and conveniently located. It was clean enough not to be a big deal. Traffic noise was pretty loud but doesn’t bother me. Overall it had what I needed in terms of price and location so I can’t complain!
