It was a perfectly fine place to stay with absolutely nothing fancy. As is common with inexpensive hotels, many things were a bit wonky or unfinished. But the beds were nice and firm and it had a refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and microwave. Fo4 the price, it worked for me.

The room was pretty bad... Pretty much everything in the room was broken in some way. The wifi was horrible, and the pool was closed. 2 key cards malfunctioned, and I watched a tweaker exercise with a brick. There was a hookers acrylic finger nail right outside my door. Staff was nice at least. A bum aslo hit us up for weed.

The bed was super uncomfortable. Bed sheets were ripped. Toilet looks like it has never been cleaned. Stains all over the curtains. Smells awful. I don’t know why but it sounded like someone was trying to get into our room at least 5 times a day. Next to the road so it was super loud. Constantly hear planes flying over. The microwave looks like they never cleaned it. Also, no plate in the microwave. Customer service was nice but even the office looked like someone lives in it.
