Falsely advertised EV charging at property. It seems people are living in most of the rooms. Broken down cars and trash along with an abandoned Denny’s building in parking lot. Windows in shower with no security barrier. Humidity stains on the ceiling and botchy wall patching repair jobs take away from the little efforts management has done to have beautiful floors and perfect water pressure and temperature. This place needs a lot of work. It’s definitely not worth more than $49 a night in the condition it’s in.

We were travelling with family and small kids. We had booked two rooms. They gave us one room in the first floor and another in the second floor. There were cockroaches everywhere in the first floor room. There were cigaretter burnt holes on the bedsheet too. The room in the second floor had strong foul smell.

It was filthy. Dirty walls. Molded ceiling. Heavily stained towels. Debris on the bed that comes with heavy stains. Upon finally laying down, the bed still had most from body heat. Roaches. Staff are very unwelcoming and unprofessional. The whole facility is more than run down.
