Deeply infested with roaches. I understand that for the price, and understanding what the area is like, it is fine, but I wouldn’t stay here again unless I have to.

They did not have a smoking room. Every time we go there there is a smoking room. We loved it when they had one smoking room available. I still do not know if the owner changed the rules or if the smoking room not available. This place has always been pleasant. Having to go outside every 15 minutes is not my idea of a pleasant stay.
