Terrible!

This place was the worst. Tweekers everywhere and all kinds of shady stuff going on, cars in and out all night. The rooms a/c didnt work and the place still had bits of trash on the floor. If it wasnt so late when i had arrived and the fact that i had already paid through the app., i would have never stayed there. Never will again, trust me...go someplace else

The toilet did not work since I got there, the wall was chipping out, towels were stained, the staff was nice but there were a lot of noice with certain guest in several rooms like a tweek fest not a couple kind of noise. It was hot and the ac didn’t really work either. If you are single it be ok but not suited for a family stay.
