Very inexpensive and manager was friendly. Although my room had a slight smoke smell and no shower soap was available I'd stay there again because the room was available at the last minute for a bargain price.

This place is NASTY. We saw the room and literally just paid to sleep somewhere else. If you care at all about cleanliness, don’t stay here, lol. There was 0 furniture in our room, not even a trash can. 1 bed. 1 mini fridge with a microwave on top.
