Gross and Dirty

The room was dirty. The comforter looked like someone jumped on the bed black shoe prints as well as rips. Sink was filthy. Toilet had been pooped in and had skid marks all over it. Property is 1 star and that’s being nice. We didn’t stay, because of how gross it was!

Good

Comfortable and clean. Large, updated room with the exception of the bathtub/shower. Water was warm not hot, shower was barely comfortable. Shower water pressure was low. All else was fine; would stay again if traveling to that area.

Had the rudest and coldest person check me in. No conversation or talk about the property or my room. The place was dirty. My room smells like smoking and cigarettes! I had homeless pounding on my bathroom window at 3am. Paper thin walls and can hear everything! Holes in my towels
