Just pay the extra money for something nicer if you can. Beds hard. One pillow. Light in bathroom didn’t work. Door was hard to open. Pretty sure a drug deal happened across the street. If you do decide to stay here be safe.

nowhere did they state on-site about a $100 deposit if under 25; i wouldn’t have known at all till check in had i not called and asked. what they don’t share is that they won’t refund your deposit! was supposed to be refunded “shortly after checkout,” but days later and they won’t pick up the phone any time of day—the one time i got someone on the phone, they stated they couldn’t refund me because the hotel “didn’t have any available funds to do so.” absolute scam. not cleanly, either.

This place is disgusting. Do not stay here. It is dirty, scary, and dangerous. The sheets were stained and nasty. Electric wiring was showing at an outlet. Plumbing was on backwards and was a scald hazard. I wouldn’t touch the microwave because something was dripping down the outside. The lock was on backwards. Bugs! Wires hanging low overhead into pool area. Homeless people sitting all around outside of building.
