Check in was easy. Service was terrible, locks on the doors are trash. Some guy tried to get in our room at 2 in the morning. Luckily I was awake still and stopped them. Very weird spot, wouldn’t recommend even for the cheaper price.

This review is solely for the room. The room is outdated with some of the fixtures showing signs of rust. The floors really needed to be mopped and the lamps were so dusty.

The property is okay it’s not horrible I just noticed that the room is not as clean as it should be. A lot of splatters on the walls and dirty hand prints on the walls. Our room also smelled really bad because of the bathroom like sewage.
