Definitely not a place I would stay for more than a quick day or 2. Everything works and despite the floors being gross in the room it was great for the price. They take a $100 deposit and it takes a while to get it back (i was fully charged and haven't gotten it back yet.). Very loud and smokey.

Disgusting property and staff. Bathroom ceiling fell in exposing mold and mildew. Front door didn’t latch properly. Homeless people all over the property. Police activity in parking lot. Drug deals in neighboring rooms all hours of the night. Lights in room were broken. Phone in room didn’t work. No way to contact front desk from room. WiFi didn’t work. Still waiting on a refund.

The staff was nice and helpful which is why I gave two stars. However, the property was very run down. The outside looked terrible. The sink in the room had a loose faucet and there was water on the bathroom floor when we first checked in. It was not worth the cost.
