Place was dark and dumpy management was not only unfriendly but also hostile and insulting
Pros:

It was inexpensive

Cons:

Management behavior was inexcusable and they were not only rude, but seemed to be hostile towards guests as well. even before checking out, I could sense that they were going to try to take my money and they in fact did attempt to keep the deposit due to claiming that the room was too messy not damaged but “dirty “ . They stated that the room had to look exactly the way it looked when checking in. I could only assume that meant making the bed with our dirty sheets and the comforter and taking out the trash as well as having no dirty towels on the floor because other than that, can’t quite see what the problem was and I’ve absolutely never been told such a thing it was $100 deposit
