You get what you pay for
The room was ok except the work didn’t work inside the room (tried multiple devices). The staff said they would look into it but nothing happened as far as I could tell. Also they charged me like 10 more dollars than my reservation that was supposed to already include all the fees.

HORRIBLE
Room smelled old. I was charged a $10 cleaning fee extra I wasn't aware of. TV didn't work. Shower broken. This place should be demolished. Seemed like a place for prostitutes and drug attics. I wouldn't recommend this place to dead people.
