Check in was easy. The girl at the front desk was polite and professsional. Honestly thats the only good thing about this place. When I entered the room I was immediately blasted in the face by the smell of a wet locker room. Like the inside of a pool locker room without the chlorine. 100% positive there is black mold in here. Black stuff around the shower, tile, and caulk. I wiped the corner of the shower with a tissue and thick black sludge came off. The only way this is possible is by not cleaning it for months at least. Had to leave the windows open to air it out, but the smell persisted because it was coming from the bathroom. After I took a shower on the first night the bathroom did not dry out at all. There are serious moisture issues going on and the fancy mirror lights and nice tile are not going to fix it. Im certain there will be issues in facility in the future regarding mold. The aesthetics are modern and updated but the decore is just a bandaid slapped over the deteriorating rooms. I was there for 5 nights. My room was only serviced one time. Beds are the squeaky and loud metal-framed type. Location is great which is why I stayed here. But the owner should really invest in a proper cleaning and actual remodel instead of slapping new tile and mirrors over water damage.

Cute place

Jorge was amazing and made me feel welcomed. There is no broadcast television, you have to use your own streaming service, so that sucked. The bed needs some serious WD40 action, it squeeked loudly every time you move. The place is cute, clean and modern though.

Avoid at all cost the pictures are fake

I never write reviews so this one is deserved. The front desk receptionist was extremely rude and aggressive. They asked me if I wanted a room downstair or upstairs so I requested downstairs. The room was extremely dirty with stains all over the counter top and floors. The door lock was also broken. I requested another room right away and was rejected so I requested a refund and was moved to a room upstairs. The room once again stains on the sheet hair on the bed and bathroom. I requested new sheets and was told I cant do that house keeping is gone. So I spent 2 hours trying to get expedia to relocate me and the front desk receptionist finally apologized for her behavior and said its not our fault that previous customers ruin the rooms. Understandable, but me as a paying customer should not have to deal with it either. If the front desk receptionist wasn't so rude maybe I wouldnt even write a review but you need to treat your paying customers with more respect.

Stay was great! Wish there was a real person at check in instead of an animated zoom call. Also room does not get good ventilation, felt a bit muggy.
