Arrive at 4:00 am and the toilet was broken, The desk clerk was extremely helpful and courteous and moved us to another room immediately.

Not clean, found roaches and earwigs. Could not sleep properly for two nights because the TV was loud in the adjacent room for the entire night. Contacted front desk multiple times but no resolution, Room did not have table and chairs as shown in photos. Waffle maker was out of service. In nutshell it was horrible stay with family.

Dirty room with roaches. Shower had a million coats of paint which made it sticky. Tub and toilet had years of stains. Random door that leads to another room that you can't lock. Front door gets jammed so you have to body slam it to get into your room. Sliding door that leads to open grass with overgrown weeds where you have access to other people's doors. The wifi didn't work and I had to use my phone's Hotspot to watch the TV. The only thing that worked properly was the A/C and the bed was comfortable. Pet friendly. Staff was great and very helpful.

Roaches EVERYWHERE, slimey walls, mold, broken door handles, AC doesn't work, beds are broken and swallow you like a taco, heavy urine smell, can't see TVs while laying in the beds, NO couches. Rooms look NOTHING like the photos. Staff is friendly and all BUT the fact they even give you room keys to these flop house rooms without so much as a warning, is insane. I wouldn't make my worst enemy stay here!!
