Not for sissies, folks. It’s a bed and a toilet—no closet, no drawers, no lamp and no chair. Keep one eye on your vehicle. It’s the cheapest stay and the all around WORST.

The bed has stains and the room smells. Not even worth it . Don’t get fooled by the higher rating like me. Even though I paid for the room, I slept in my car itself.
