Nice Place but they need to take better care of it

This place needs a lot of work, the staff are friendly place is nice on the outside, but this place needs an upgrade. And a deep clean. As soon as I opened the door the room had a damp feeling, and I instantly knew bugs. Moved the microwave a layer of dust not a big deal but showed the cleaning effort of the place, moved on to the refrigerator and under it as infestation of cockroachs. That too not a big deal but if i was going to stay three nights I would need to treat the room. Went to home depot got some bug treatment and cleaning spray and a tarp to sleep on. Cleaned everything doors bathroom, and table scrubed every nook sprayed should have got a discount for the amount of work i did, but whatever, after the deep clean I felt comfortable enough to sleep and had a very pleasant stay.

It's cheap, but you get what you pay for. Except for the bed, everything else is dirty and old. The towels are almost worn out and no longer white. Don't walk on barefoot and avoid touching anything.

The property is very outdated and not clean. The toilet was fthy, the towels were stained and I moved the nightstand looking for an outlwt and there was garbage and papers there indicating no one has moved or vacuumed there in quite some time. The sheets seemed fine, but the bedspread did not seem clean at all. I think they need to do an overhaul and invest a little money in some necessities. I
