One tenant away from being a crack motel
Pros:

I liked leaving the property. That’s all

Cons:

The staff was very nonchalant and didn’t care. Clearly hated her job. she seen I had an infant and still proceeded to put me in the room on the 3rd floor that required 4 flights of stairs. The outside of the building was run down. People clearly live here long term. Cars in the air on jacks , pot holes and the smell of stale cigarettes everywhere. The room , absolutely disgusting. Big black stains on the floor , walls have yellow film over them from smoking in them all day and all furniture & appliances were falling apart. I took pics and showed the lady at the front desk. She acted as if this was not a surprise this room looked that way & even more surprised I was complaining. She asked in a very monotone if I wanted to try another room… lol NO ! The pictures on the website is NOTHING like what this place actually look like. Their free breakfast is also grab & go off their office counter , that also looks like it hasn’t seen soap and water in some time.

For $50 a night, was slightly better than a crack house
Pros:

Its a dump with nasty floors in a questionable neighborhood. Bed, TV, air conditioning and shower were the only plus. Ceiling in the bathroom was water damaged, molding around the bathroom was partially removed exposing mold issues and had a few bugs crawling from that area.. Every white pair of socks I used while walking around the room ended up black and had to throw them away. At check in the room reeked of cleaning supplies, almost made me sick. Could smell cigarette smoke radiating from the surrounding rooms. But... at $50 a night it was pretty expected
