This place is very run down. Pots outside each door were full of cigarette butts, filthy carpet, window didn’t lock, no security lock on the door, blinds broken to list a few things. Kitchen very poorly appointed. Looked like they hit a few garage sales. There were only 3 spoons and decorative bowls for cereal bowls. Gnats all in the place also. I had to ask for basics like dish soap because they require you wash your own dishes.

Most affordable room with full kitchen in area

This offered the most affordable full kitchen stay in the area. The needs were comfortable the room was clean and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again. That being said, the full kitchen offered a full sized stove with oven/broiler, sink and refrigerator with top freezer. However u works recommend you bring your own cooking utensils. There were no bowls of any kind, the sauce pan would have been rejected as a donation at Goodwill, it was so scratched and gouged as to make the not stick surface unusable. The baking sheet was severely warped. When i went to the office to turn in a dinner plate i found broken when i did a quick inspection upon arrival, staff said they didn't keep an inventory of what was in each room and they didn't have replacements because previous visitors often took the good did with them.

Beds were a little too firm. And one of them squeaked terribly so we were afraid of disturbing the neighbors. Definitely not worth the price. Have paid the same and less for much better accommodations.

The bed was good and the shower/tub combo worked ok. The rest of the stay was subpar. Missing the door knob on the bathroom door. The refrigerator makes a weird noise, the few utensils in the kitchen are dirty, the only chair in the room is stained and has a big rip. The remote to the TV is disgusting. Would never stay here again or recommend.
