I had a very bad experience here. First off it’s a bit run down but I didn’t expect much since it was the cheapest I could find. But it smelled like smoke. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling. There was no latch lock on the door. We put a chair against the door while we slept to feel safe. With all of this I was like well you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t even have written a review for those things. I don’t write reviews. But….they have a sign on the window where you check in that says they will not enter your room to clean it during your stay unless you request them to. But the first day we came back to the room after being out for the day we saw they had indeed entered the room and cleaned it. They didn’t have a sign on the door knob to put out saying you don’t want it cleaned. But I didn’t question that since they literally have a sign saying they won’t. So I called the front desk to ask why this happened and the woman who answered argued with me, literally screamed at me. And then hung up on me. We packed up and left. The man at the front desk refused to give me any check out paperwork or the name of the owner. DO NOT STAY THERE!
