This place doesn't deserve any stars!!! The towels were dirty with yellow stains on them. The sheets were stinky. Mildewy smell in the bathroom. I'm so happy that we always travel with our own towels and sheets. After reservations were made we were also charged an extra $50 for a deposit + 35 for an 11:00am check in=$85. If we had somewhere else to have stayed we would have left but we couldn't get a refund.

The the check-in process was smooth and fast. When we got into our room, I went to the restroom, and there were three roaches in the bathroom. The staff was quick to try to resolve the issue and gave us another room. The second room that we were put in the ceiling. I had cracks in it and looked very unsafe, the website said that they offered hot coffee in the lobby and there was Luke warm coffee. We tried parking into a handicapped spot and was asked to move our vehicle and was told by staff that they did not have handicapped parking but there was a sign on the side of the building offering handicap parking.

Property was dirty—the sink in my room had beard hair in it, a massive crack and slow drainage. The walls are paper-thin, so I could hear everything in the room next to me—the people weren’t being loud, either. The staff was nice, though.

This place is awful. Dirty, and infested with roaches and bugs. Had to be moved rooms due to roaches, then 2nd had bugs crawling on the walls and dead ones on floor. Hair in shower, kept stepping on pieces of loose grout from floor. Also recieved a nice bite on my leg. I should have walked out. Place will not work with me on refund for dirty unsanitary conditions.
