The property is on the older side and the room we stayed in was simple with two full beds and a table with no chairs. The bathroom had cracked tiles and mildew.

The room is outdated and there were minor discrepancies, but overall had a good experience. Well-valued and taken care of as best as it could be working with an old building. I was not a fan of the fact that the bathroom could have been more thoroughly cleaned (water spots on the faucet, unclean towels, strands of hair left in the bathroom) and there was only bedsheets on the bed without a comforter or other over cover. Great & helpful staff!

The room was renovated in the 50s or 60s of the XX century… withe the contemporary prices. It is old and run down. It did not have even the simplest amenities like ventilation in the bathroom or the hangers in the closet. The sheets were probably the cheapest they could only find….

Property was under construction? My room had no lamp, paper keeping cabinets from opening and furniture falling apart. The bathroom had a faucet that needed repairing, cigarette burns on the bathroom counter as well. Im not sure my room had even been cleaned before i checked in. I found a razor and shampoo in my shower from the previous guest when i checked in and a blanket in the closet wadded up in the corner. Guaranteed this room wasnt cleaned. For $125 a night....i expected more.

The room was so rundown. Holes in the walls, leaking air conditioning unit, no lights in the light fixtures. Beyond that there was a 2 inch gap under the door that made me feel unsafe like someone could stick a camera through or peep through. No blanket just a sheet on the bed. Instead of a regular chair it had an outdoor chair in the room. The hair dryer was covered in brown dirt. For $160 I consider this inn a complete rip off.

The room was pretty bad... Pretty much everything in the room was broken in some way. The wifi was horrible, and the pool was closed. 2 key cards malfunctioned, and I watched a tweaker exercise with a brick. There was a hookers acrylic finger nail right outside my door. Staff was nice at least. A bum aslo hit us up for weed.
