Not sure what was expecting for $250 a night. Certainly not the experience I anticipated though. This is more like a $50 a night location. Maybe even pay by the hour. Pictures are never accurate and honestly it nearly ruined the night.

Left over everything
The sheets were dirty including hair obviously not changed on either bed. Literally slept on top of the bedding. The bathroom towels had makeup from previous tenant. Overall it was disgusting and if I didn’t arrive at 2am from my flight with limited transportation and knowledge of the area I would have left immediately. The front desk women were very kind and check in was quick and efficient.

Do not stay here. So disgusting
Disgusting place would never pay to stay here again. Shower was so disgusting I couldn’t even shower without sandals on without cutting my feet on the floor. Towels we stained crusty and disgusting, felt dirtier after I showered and used that. Door barely locked shut. Wouldn’t even give it one star if there was an option for less
