There is not a good hand hold for the stairs in one area. I was holding onto a piece of wood and it came off in my hand. I almost fell down the stairs.

This is an aging facility but it's still going and hanging in there. Still needs continuous renovations and better linens. However, it is priced accordingly and affordable compared to other choices in the area so that's a win.

It's definitely an older place & very basic, but it was clean & comfortable enough. The man at check-in was very kind & friendly. It does have a small microwave & refrigerator, which was not mentioned in the description I had read about it. Bring your own hangers if you want to hang things up.

This was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed! It smelled funky and the shower curtain! There was a rusty baking pan being used as a tray under the coffee maker. Some dirty stain on one of the bedspreads, the floor was nice new tile in a dark plank style but it was filthy! I took a dry towel to the floor to get sand and dirt pushed to doorway and wet a bath towel to push around to clean floor which made towel the color of coffee! It looks nothing like the pictures! I can handle old and out dated places, but lack of cleaning, and upkeep on a regular basis is not what I expected to get for $250.00 a night!!!

Didn’t stay here more than 5 mins! Dirty sheets and towels. Air conditioner leaked and had a tray to catch the water that slowed dripped down the wall by the electrical outlet. Oh and there was a dead cockroach on the bathroom floor. Absolutely gross!!
