No nonsense. Clean tidy good location

Bed was comfortable but loud when anything hit the metal frame. The bathroom door was always in way. May want to consider a pocket or barn door in the future

"We did not end up staying in the room. My girlfriend felt it was not clean and was not comfortable."

3.0

The check in process was easy. The room was cheap but not clean or very comfortable.

The room air conditioning was off and smelled musty and moldy. There was mold in the room, in the lamp shades, and above the shower. There was a bug on one of the pillows and the sheets had some stains. The shower had a few hairs on the floor and walls.
