The first room they place us in had a non working tv. We were moved to another room quickly. The attendant was very helpful and friendly. Room was ok but bed was hard and sheets were rough. Good location, but loud high rise construction across the street. Trash was piled up in the courtyard when we arrived. good value for location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a nice, clean place to stay. The beds are rough and the rooms are little but you get what you pay for, especially considering other areas. It’s also a very quick walk to the strip and beach where there are so many restaurants and shops!! It’s an easy in and out, we walked everywhere and so much of what you need is within distance! Highly recommend this place.

They put some perfume or something in the room to offset the mold problem. My allergies are horrible now. My wife took a shower. 5 minutes after walking around on the floor her feet were black. It's sad. So much potential here but it is managed horribly wrong is my guess. At least we saw no bugs.
