I booked this place because it was affordable and it seemed like it had good reviews, but after an hour and a half of being there, being showered, and relaxing in bed, I started getting bites on my stomach and my side, so I left immediately.

The room looked runned down. The TV Wall mount was missing screws that were supposed to be attached to the wall, making the TV almost fall off the mount. The toilet had a crack on the lid. The "Clothing Rack" was low on the floor and was in the bathroom.

The shower curtain should either be longer or the rod it hangs on be lowered to prevent water spilling out of the drain pan.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property looks clean during the day. The staff was friendly checking in. The problems was at night when the roaches come out. Tried telling the staff and they were bothered by the situation. Tried asking to move us to another room far away from that one and all they did was change is to the room next to it. We checked out and tried to cancel the rest of our reservation. The staff got mad and said they were not going to reimburse the rest of the days we had already paid. Really upset at the situation.
