The room was fine for a quick one night stay. The area is a little sketchy and it would have been nice to know thay a CASH deposit is required at check in. I was lucky i had the cash.

I had a lot of trouble communicating with the receptionist (very thick accent) . The young man at the desk in the morning was very polite , helpful and efficient. The room was excellent but the sheets and pillow cases were not clean.(I found some hairs on them). Yuck!

The bedspread and blanket underneath had multiple burn holes. The water temperature in the shower didn't get above luke warm which led to cold showers. They required a cash deposits of $100 which wasn't stated on the listing, and when asked what if i didn't have $100 in cash the attendant said there was an ATM down a ways.
