You get what you pay for

Just what you'd expect for what youre paying. No 5 star establishment but if you go in looking for a bed and to save some money its worth it. Just dont go in hoping the 5 second rule dropping food applies here.. I just put a couple air freshners on the A/C vent and wasnt much bothered by anything else.
