Absolutely 0 stars for this place.. the guy at the front desk charged me extra for a friend coming which was fine then after I tapped my card and saw it withdraw from my account he told me that I needed to pay again. I told him I wasn't paying again cause It had already came out he said they wouldn't be credited. We argued a bit, I showed him the charge on my account. He proceeded to tell me he wasn't giving me my ID back and wouldn't give me the room keys. My friend stepped in and took over getting my ID and the key cards to the room but this was very unprofessional as a business. There was big blood stains all down the hallway. Room was disgustingly dirty. Beds were hard and uncomfortable. Staff was unnecessarily rude. Terrible experience.

The property was dirty, curtains had holes in them. I got sick because of the smoke vapors. I booked a non smoking room. People smoked everywhere, I couldn’t sleep throughout my stay. You are better off paying a little more for a better experience.

Do Not Rent!!
This is legit the most affordable option. They will tell you to pay a cash deposit. Which isn't a legal transaction. No receipt. So you don't smoke in the non-smoking room after requesting no smoking and they have smoking rooms available. At 3am exterior doors were wide open, and they'll tell you it's a safe area. Comical. Completely operated by sham artist from overseas. Bring your bug spray! I would have taken pictures had I not had a life. Do better!

Their security deposit varies from $20-100, and be careful if you book a smoking room, as apparently they don't have smoking rooms. You'll get an extra charge if you smoke in your room, plus lose your security deposit.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO INSPECT
We got out the car property was damaged a warning sign? Then we walked inside to a FUNKY BAD SMELL, dirty couch and more broken furniture!! I wanted to leave then as they tryed to add $50 to our bill for non smoking!! But my Wife still tried to stay and give them a chance but we had to see the room first, well in the room the sheet was nasty and the spread had cigarette burns in it. So we demanded a change and they did and that was the worst and the end. The lady came out with this WHITE SHEET and put it on the bed and there was a BLACK SPOT MOVING ON THE SHEET (A BED BUG) the manager tried to crush with his fingers I wouldn`t let him and told him this was a deal breaker we where out and wanted our money back. The manager (SWEPT THE BED BUG ON THE FLOOR) as if it was nothing then tried to offer us another ROOM !! SCARRY !! THIS PLACE IS A HEALTH HAZARD !! THE STAFF AND THE PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED BY THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT!!!!!! STAY HERE IF YOU WANT TO DONAT BLOOD TO THE BUG BANK!!!!!

The hotel wasn’t dirty, just dingy due to age. The cooling system didn’t work. We could only use the fan setting. There was mold and mildew in the shower and the faucet of the sink was so loose it almost came off in our hands. There were no Kleenex in the room and it was exactly what it was advertised as. Cheap, and not just in price. We definitely won’t be using them again any time soon.
