Bathroom in the room was still dirty with old hair and stuff stuck to the bottom. A few stains on the sheets. Overall not a bad place when you need a bed and shower for a few days. But I feel like I overpaid for what I received.

Room was not clean. Stains on the bed, hairs on the bed, as if the bedding wasn’t cleaned at all from the previous stayer. Streaks in the toilet. Floor was sticky. Something spilled next to the bed and it was not cleaned, just wiped up, sticky with hairs stuck in it. I didn’t end up staying.

This is an older facility that has been remodeled. It was the cheapest on the internet so I wasn't expecting much more than cheap. Owners have done a very nice job of rehabilitating the rooms. My room was clean and simple. I wanted a bed, shower, toilet and that's what I got. Not amazing, but you're not paying for amazing. People that rate this place poorly are expecting more than they are paying for. If you want nice, then pay more. If you want a bed and a shower, this place is for you. I wouldn't plan a weeks stay here, but for a night or two, it fits the bill.
