OK for the price. Room smelled like cigarettes, toilet was short, but the bed was comfortable.

Booked a non-smoking room that reeked of cigarette smoke. Bedding was very stained but the smoke smell was bad enough we both had trouble falling asleep.

Not a big fan of the cigarette butt containers attached to the building just outside of each room.

The rest of the guests were mostly long term residents and extremely rude and obnoxious. They sit around gossiping outside short term guests rooms, knock on the door and then run away. The room itself was so dirty, I went and got tapestries and fabric to put over the furniture and used a tarp over the bed I wasn't using and the bedding had holes in it and didn't look clean and felt terrible. One woman stood in front of my door and barked orders at some other people apparently far from where she was because she was basically screaming for what felt like over an hour until thankfully it started raining and she went away. It was unpleasant to say the least. Everything was so filthy that I just kept washing my hands constantly and counting down the days until I'd be checking out. When that day came some guy that looked like he was homeless knocked on my door an hour before check out and started saying something about leaving early (it was 10 am) as I brought my luggage to the car. When I went to drop off the keys, it wasn't a lock box, it was a tray on the desk so I flung the keys under the window so they'd be on the floor in the locked office. Glad I did, the homeless looking guy who I'm not even sure worked there ran to the office as soon as I walked out to retrieve the keys. I was worried someone would trash the room after I left and I'd be charged for it. Find a different place! No ID was asked for at check-in, no ice machine & the other guests are there 24/7.
