I don’t recommend. You can hear your neighbors every move and sexual interactions. I see why ear plugs were left on the night stand. Bathroom wasn’t clean enough and most of everything inside of the bathroom was broken. Water pressure was terrible; inside the bathroom but great in the kitchen area. The room had a horrible smell but I went to Walmart to buy cleaning supplies and air fresheners. The air conditioner stopped working at night or something; because it gets very hot. I should have gotten a room, I didn’t want to be around a lot of people but next time I’m getting a hotel room. Parking also was terrible!

Great value- will stay again

Nice little studio for a really good price. Walls are kinda thin, so if the neighbors are noisy you really hear it. Location is almost an industrial type area which I was a little concerned about on first arrival, but did not have any issues or see/hear anything worrying during my 4 nights.

PRETTY GOOD STAY

It was exactly what I booked!! I love how I could control the AC with a remote HAHA. I kinda hate how you have to park on the side of the road but other than that it was a very quiet place. neighbors were quiet as well. Many restaurants/ fast food in the area.

We love the setup of the property and will definitely be staying again!! Only 3 things is I think check in time should be sooner in the afternoon maybe like 2 instead of 4. I wish the information was sent sooner in the day to keep from stressing if it’ll be sent by time and 3rd is when you try to call the number they give nobody answers and it gets sent to voicemail other than that everything was great!

Cozy room. Quick response by management on broken coffee pot. Toilet seat was extremely loose and a modest amount of mildew around tub but room was clean. Parking is not real convenient. Room rate is reasonable , pay attention to added fees ot total price when shopping for a room.

Cute space inside. However please make sure you ask if the code has been changed from the previous guest. This will prevent people that you don’t know from coming in your room at 5 am. Communication with host was been good and a full refund was issued.
