You get what you pay for apparently.

Bed was lumpy and WiFi never worked. The Front desk gentleman tried to dismiss my checkout procedure without returning my cash deposit. Had the audacity to ask if I cleaned the room first before checking out the morning of 8/17. Other occupants were extremely loud, arguing, etc. towels had yellow stains on them, tub was disgusting.

Not worth the discount

Although the front desk clerk was nice, the rest was pretty disgusting. We walked in to an old and very hot lobby with a broken ice machine. There were a lot of people outside milling around even though it was around 90°. The room smelled bad and it was supposed to be non-smoking. There were bugs on the floor, the pillows were very thin, and the air conditioner made noise like a washer spinning on and off all night. The only reason we stayed there is because there were other reviews that gave this place a 10. We suspect those were fake because there's no way this would be given a 10 in any stretch of the imagination. Pay the extra and stay somewhere else.
