Bad service
Cons:

I paid for a 2 queen beds and was given a single bed. Tryed to check in at night but id scanner didn't work so I had to come back in the morning when the office open. So I lost an entire night and the staff at the front desk were rude and had bad customer service.

Pros:

Seemed clean enough.

Cons:

The bed was truly old and terrible. While the room seemed updated, the bed was not. The bedside lights and outlets did not work. The room did not have a refrigerator.

Unless you absolutely cannot afford anywhere else, don’t stay here!
Pros:

Nothing!

Cons:

The room smelt of cigarette smoke, there was no soundproofing, even from the windows, you could hear everything everyone was saying. The door didn’t look like it shut all the way, even when locked. The bath towels were so small. They looked like face towels. The property look like it belonged behind a liquor store, it was dirty, cluttered and just looked seedy! At first, there was no one at the reception desk, then a man walked in to check me in, and he was rude, disinterested, and really didn’t care to be there. I would not recommend this place.
