thick layer of dust visible on the curtains, visible mold in bathroom. Extremely Noisy- the showers in adjoining rooms sound like they are in your room. People loudly arguing talking coming and going at 2:30 am

Think Motel 6. It’s clean, simple, no thrill or frills. No trashcan in the room. Bring your own toiletries. I would stay there on a pinch.

I booked this place because it was affordable and it seemed like it had good reviews, but after an hour and a half of being there, being showered, and relaxing in bed, I started getting bites on my stomach and my side, so I left immediately.
