Very dirty. I don’t think they have housekeeping at all. Their blankets are very old and dirty. There were so many roaches as well!!! The workers were nice but the conditions were horrible. It’s not worth staying here even if it’s cheap

Peep hole on the door was cracked or dirty. Tried to clean it but couldn't and could not see thru at all. No safety latch thing at the top of the door. Not the best best area in terms of homeless people about in the area but they just stay because the fwy exit and Walmart is right there. Seemed pretty safe. No bugs in my room, checked very well.
