Room quality varies, last one was OK. This one has curtains hanging off, marks on the wall and whilst clean is not as good as the room I had last time. And once again the TV required adjustment before it would work.

Very bad experience. I stayed only one night, but that was enough. The entire place smelled strongly of cigarettes. Several things in the room were not working properly, including the outlets and the shower, which had no water pressure. The worst part was the noise. The guests in the room next to me were fighting, yelling, and hitting the walls from around 11 p.m. until almost 3 a.m. I barely slept and had to wake up at 4 a.m. for my day. I would not recommend this place.

This place is definitely a no for me! When you pull up it looks spooky! There were homeless people and drug users hanging on parking lot! Staring and looking weirdly at my family! This isn’t a place to come for a long stay! Tv didn’t work! Also the air conditioning and heating system were not working in room! They gave a portable plug in heater and fan ! Overall don’t do it!
