Staff was great, room was rundown. No fire detector, fan falling off of ceiling in bathroom held by ductape, mold, no garbage cans in room, went out to buy our own sheets & towels, random noise & transients overnight. Not worth saving $ to stay here

Nothing about this place was likeable. Stain sheets & box spring cover..shower head was held together with clear tape, shower fixture wasn’t flushed to the wall, ac unit was missing vent cover, second room they offered us wasn’t better-coachroachs, mircowave was filthy dirty and looked rusty in areas. We ended up leaving- lost one night but were able to be refunded last two days. Wish I could post pictures I took!
