It's cheap, but you get what you pay for. Except for the bed, everything else is dirty and old. The towels are almost worn out and no longer white. Don't walk on barefoot and avoid touching anything.

The property is very outdated and not clean. The toilet was fthy, the towels were stained and I moved the nightstand looking for an outlwt and there was garbage and papers there indicating no one has moved or vacuumed there in quite some time. The sheets seemed fine, but the bedspread did not seem clean at all. I think they need to do an overhaul and invest a little money in some necessities. I

I Wont Be Back

There should Always be two bed sheets to sleep in between them for sanitary reasons. There was only one sheet on both beds. I had to remove sheet from one bed, so I would have two sheets to sleep in between. Room had a funny smell. I won’t ever be returning.
