Don’t do it unless you enjoy paper thin walls with noisy guests late into the night and stale cigarette smell. Park at your own risk. Bed was comfortable for one night, but couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

This is one of the worst properties in the world. No heat. Bath room tubs don’t drain , you will be in a pond. Dirty shower curtain . Always touching your body. Hairs on the bed. Pillows stink as they were not changed. Outside the window was rooftop garbage. Ac pipe vegetation growth. Doors have 2 inch space. The rooms snicks of food cooking . The hallway and property sinks of marijuana. I was buzzed with headaches before reaching my room. Totally disgusting . I ran off the next day. Honestly speaking you rather sleep on streets than this place. Don’t know how this lame property exist. The picture of hotel are all lies you see on Expedia. Shame on Expedia for having these properties listed. No expedia help on the first night. When I called . And twice the Expedia staff Huns up the phone. Don’t go . Never go. Sleep on street bench but not here .
