The neighborhood that it is in is kind of sketchy. But the staff is amazing, the rooms are clean, and it felt secure due to the fencing around it. The price is amazing. I would definitely stay again.

I have no complaints about the property or the room. My biggest concern is always bedbugs but thankfully the bed was free as I assume the whole room is. I will return if the opportunity presents itself to me.

So the beds are on a sheet metal base which sounds like the drums of your ansestors awakening every time you move a muscle. That coupled with the fact I think they used box springs instead of mattresses. They felt like cardboard pallets to sleep on. My neice moved to the floor and.i seriously considered sleeping in the car for the night. Oh and if you like hearing the fridge make a constant growl that almost sounds like Darth Vader sleeping next to you, than this is for sure the room for you.
