Disgusting. Room filthy: toilet, towels, bedding. 1/2 the lights out, smoke detector missing, asked for refund and told I missed the 30 minutes to get one. Was able to get bleach from house keeping so I could self clean the bathroom and room surfaces. Never experienced such an establishment like this.
Base toilet, yuck.
Furniture non-hygienic, covered with stick and peel plastic tile.
Non-smoking room with smoke detector missing!

The rooms were falling apart and filthy. The pool was so cloudy and had stuff floating in it. The keys didn’t work and the clerk tried to blame me for holding the key too close to my phone. I had to go to the office and change them out twice. Then I called to say I wasn’t going to go back up there, he sent a resident with another key that didn’t work. Needless to say we cut our stay short, Don’t bring your family here.

Surprise $25 fee at check in with no explanation. Staff was too busy on her cell phone with her friend to answer any questions. Room is filthy. Disgusting. Afraid to even sit down in my clothes. Do not by any means stay here. Room smells like musty cigarette smoke, with air fresheners shoved into the in unit A/C to haphazardly mask the smell. Horrible property.

no frills, you get exactly what you paid for

The staff was nice and really trying. That why i gave it 3 stars. Was it worth the $48 dollars i paid and not a dime more yes. Did my door look like it had been kicked in several times and i was about to star in an episode of the forensic files? Also yes. But i didn't get murdered
