The pictures online are deceptive. The furniture is worn, the tiles and tub in the bathroom were painted once upon a time (bad idea) and all thr piaint is peeling. $45 a night would have been too much to pay for this room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival into the property, it felt very unsafe. It was not in a comforting area as I was talking to the front desk personnel it seemed that he had no care in his job. He barely even talk to us. He finally gave us her key and upon entering the room, it had a foul odor of weed. So much to the point where it made us sick and we left within 20 minutes. I tried to get a refund. They did not give me a refund even though I didn’t spend the night overall it was a horrible experience and I would not recommend.
