It was affordable and served its purpose. There were wet spots on the carpet. One of the lamps was broken. The hall reeked of Marijuana and a strong air freshener.

Terrible, would not recommend
There was a terrible odor in the room. It ranged from a sweaty gym, to a burning smell, to a wet dog. The employee came and sprayed the room and that only helped for about 15 mins. When it smelled like something was burning and could have caused an electrical problem, i asked to switch rooms, and all he said was that someone had been in the room the night before. Okay, how does that pertain to the situation now. At night time, we had asked for a couple extra pillows and he said they didnt have any more. The pillows in the room were small for a twin bed, not for a king room that we had booked. There was a tear in one of the rings of the shower curtain which caused water to go outside the shower and make the floor slippery

Basic room. Ok, just not great.
We’ve stayed here before, and we stayed here again because we knew it was basic. We just needed a place to sleep for the night. It’s nothing fancy, not the newest or cleanest.
