Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy The bathroom was totally unacceptable and the whole building had an odor. I don't require the Ritz, but I also don’t do 49 a night motels. The mold on the shower curtain was totally unacceptable and the shower head hasn’t been cleaned in who knows how long. We spent the night Friday night out of necessity because we got into town so late and we left early the next morning. So we booked the room for 2 nights and only stayed 8 hours. I have stayed in multiple rental properties and this is by far the worst place we have come across, especially at what we paid for it. ![Filthy shower head](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eacd269d-8dbb-4944-a29b-8a665b1105ed-1757906088537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Moldy shower curtain](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36dd43ea-a2a9-4920-8f9f-a7b5d3764fbc-1757906113760.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![I don’t know how what the stains are here. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61a69c13-f408-42e8-9451-a55b805b5cfc-1757906155943.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### kenny w.

Nice to have grocery store downstairs.Things we didn't like:- No hangers in closet - Unit is in a condo with regular residents. Thursday night neighbors had music very loud. Floor below is a gym, you can hear exercise classes in the unit - Dimly lit, evening and night was quite dark inside - Very sparsely furnished. ##### Tim M.
