A Pleasant Stay Was Enjoyed.....
VERY nice - for the most part; few if any complaints (wasn't clear if large-screen viewing monitor had USB ports - admittedly, DIDN'T examine; that'd definitely be DESIRABLE though.....)

Terrible
Checked in. Got into the room and it smelled terrible and was unclean. Lifted up one of the mattresses and found so much black particles that we were not even sure what it was. Stayed 5 minutes and left. Dropped off the cards and told them we were not staying.

The room smelled bad and was extremely dirty. Everything there, from the chairs to the refrigerator to the carpet, was extremely old and needed to be replaced.

The condition of my lodging was poor. The rugs were filthy and the walls were is disrepair. The stair railing was loose. There was only a light bedspread without a banket. The pillows were flat.

You get what you pay for & you aren't paying much.
This place was okay, there were sketchy people hanging around but the place was cheap and convenient with ample parking.

Bed was of the cheapest quality. Some full time residents with both trash and toys strewn about in front of rooms. People hanging in front of rooms. Men repairing cars in front of rooms. IT’S A DUMP!!!
