Bed springs on the mattress were poking me and the breakfast was minimal , but everything looks the same when your eyes are closed Budget friendly so don’t expect the 4seasons at a budget price. Would I stay there again? Yeah, why not,,,, just maybe a bed that doesn’t poke me in the back while I’m sleeping. Were there bugs? I don’t know because I didn’t want to check… don’t need those nightmares for 3 nights. But the employees were friendly

I was shocked by the potential stench of urine when I walked into my room. The room was filthy. Things were floating in the bathtub. Bathtub would not drain unless I held down the drain. Ceiling tiles had water damage and were sagging. Climate control system sounded like a helicopter. I saw several spiders in the room. I felt dirty staying there. The bed was very uncomfortable, noisy. I woke up with a sore upper back. Sleep in your car before choosing this place! It’s not worth it.

I found the bed to be inadequate to sleep comfortably. I don't know if it was too soft or the lower metal frame that was flexing like a metal can, but I could not find a comfortable spot and I slept across the top of the bed where the pillows usually are. I did these 2 nights and then left; the staff were nice but the bed was terrible
