This property really needs an upgrade in the rooms. The vent in the bathroom was full of dirt and dust. The bed makes noise when you sit down on it. The appliances in the room are out dated. The door to the room don't lock properly and not secure.

The breakfast was not much to write home too. Muffins, yogurt, two types of cereal, coffee, orange juice, apple juice. Had a toaster, but nothing to put in it like a bagel or an English muffin. The check-in was nice with the lady being very friendly, did take a little longer than I thought should’ve. For the price you can’t fit it. We just need a place to sleep and take off early. I would recommend it.
