Don't stay here. The rooms are NOT clean. Cigarette burns in the blankets, trash everywhere and I was told that if I pay online in order to extend my stay, that I would have to leave and come back at 2:30. I've never been told that by a hotel NEVER. In order to extend my stay and not have to leave I had to pay in person and was charged 25$ more than I would have to pay online. Unreal
