While the room itself was what we paid for, no ironing board or iron, refrigerator didn't work, AC not even cool air, it was hot and humid out 75 felt like 90 outside and fan like air wasn't cutting it. The area of town I didn't feel safe. The guy staying in room next door had a lot of traffic as in pretty sure was selling drugs. Staff that checked us in when finally came to window was nice and pleasant, the staff when checking out looked asleep and was 930am was grumpy and rude. If had to do it all over again id sleep in my car.

If you stay here be prepared to bring anything you need with you. No lamp, no clock, no shampoo, etc. provided. No access to management either. Door is locked so you can't get in to talk to anyone. There is a bell and a little window but if someone responds to the bell you can't hear anything said do to the very noisy traffic right there. It was clean

Cons: Towels were stained, room had a musky smoke smell, pillows were lumpy more like a bean bag than a pillow. Couldn’t use the refrigerator due to it being disgusting. Pros: AC was cold, bed was comfy. Windows were frosted so you couldn’t see in. TV worked fine. Over all was okay for the price.
