The best thing I can say is that the price is cheap, and worth it. If saving money is the objective, this is the place for you. Otherwise, expect nothing and you'll get it.

Was billed by expiration and the place. I was worried I would not get my money back and stayed a second week ant a rate well above the worth of this property. I stayed a third week due to no apartment availability to get into. I am back to being homeless to save money for a place to live.

The room was a non-smoking room, but based on the smell of the room, somebody was smoking in it. The room looked unkept. There was a hole on the bathroom door and holes on the bathroom wall. The comforter was dirty. I was going to stay and paid for 2 nights, but decided not to.
