Verified traveller

Fair price, odd smell

Check in was easy, hassle free. As soon as we entered the room we were hit with the smell of, still not too sure, garbage that needs to be taken out? septic tank? but it was gross the whole time, even after opening a window. Other than that things were good! Bed was comfy, firm pillows, tv fridge shower toilet were all in functioning and clean condition. Nothing too fancy, just right for the price...although I'd definitely have paid a little more for the place across the street if it didnt smell like a fresh fart...
