Well the initial check in was great. The front desk lady was kind and helpful. when i went in the room it looked clean on the surface. I lifted back the sheets to check for bed bugs when i got in the room, the mattress had a topper cover on it, I pulled it back to find the mattress covered in stains, crumbs, some beads from like a broken bracelet. hIt was disgusting. The noise from up stairs was so loud like they were hammering and stomping around. The man was talking all night so loud until around 4 am (I had to get up at 5:30 for work) I think they were drinking, partying or doing drugs. I called the front desk around 2 or 3 am. They said they would give them a call but the noise persisted through the night. My sleep and comfort isn't worth the few dollars I saved. I will never visit this facility again. And to top it off I couldn't even get a cup of coffee from the lobby it doesn't open until 7am and I had to leave for fork at 6:30am. It was a miserable work trip.
