Would not recommend this location
The room was not as pictured. It was filthy, run down, and just not in good condition at all. There were bugs on the ceiling, and the tv looked like someone tried to open it? Just really poor. I actually left the same night I checked in and stayed somewhere else. I tried asking for a refund even just for the 2nd night of which end I was already checked out for and got nothing.

Terrible
My experience was terrible.
We got in a room that had a full size bed
Only 2 lights next to the bed the rest of the outlets were closed off.
Found several long dark hairs not ours.
Shower curtain was peeling.
Towels had seen better days could see throughout.
Toilet seat lose and dangerous.
Towel rack of the wall.
The room was a closet with a small 2×4 window was opened in hallway.
Was told no other rooms available.
Ice machine not working( had medicine needed to be on ice).
Felt uncomfortable walking outside due homeless people living in the parking lot and on the street.
Unfortunately no refund was giving!

May have lost my business
The room was freezing. I had a warm drink and left it out overnight and it was like it just came out a fridge. No way to control the room temperature. Also there seemed to be homeless people staying there. Also the toilet broke during my stay. I’ve stayed here before but this was a really bad stay.
