Stay away

Room was tiny. It was not the room in the online photos. The room was so small the closet was inaccessible with the bed so close the doors could not open. Amenities ancient. The place was obviously cut up to create units. The person staying in the room adjacent was screaming obscenities at 3am and then was violently vomiting. Several additional fees at check in including $4.50 for ice!

Terrible employment.

Room was filthy. Had to clean and sanitize myself. I also did not receive my deposit back. And was told by the staff that it doesn’t come out. But it definitely came from my account. The amount of 80 dollars. I called several times only to get no one. I returned to the property and was told to speak with management. That wasn’t in at the time. I will be taking legal action if this isn’t resolved
