The experience
Pros:

I liked the price and it was ok.

Cons:

I totally dislike that I put my sign to go clean and have clean towels, and no one went . Honestly and totally unsatisfied when I walked out, when I checked out, I saw a bed bug on the floor. Please be aware of that.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!
Pros:

There was a locked gate so I could at least hope my vehicle was somewhat safe.

Cons:

It is in a BAD neighborhood - drug addicts and significant homeless population within 2 blocks - we watched a drug deal happen while waiting at the stoplight just down the street! The bed squeaked and creaked with every movement, and the AC whined when it was in but didn’t cool the room to the temp set before turning off. The towels were minuscule - we called them 30-year-old YMCA towels!! The halls smelled heavily of smoke, and despite all the warnings about not smoking on the property, the morning desk person was smoking pot openly while checking us out!! NOT worth the price and I would NEVER stay here again!!
