The place was horrible! Refrigerated not working something dried running down the wall. No toilet paper holder no lid to the toilet, sink ran slow 1/2 plugged. All the doors falling off entertainment center, no batteries in remote when asked for some was told don’t have any. More cigarette holes in the bed covers than the screens. One swift kick and the door would be open.

The first room I got had paint coming off of the walls in a corner from the ceiling to the floor and some kind of trash around the air conditioner. The second room had the smell of “meth” coming from another room. Then was told that the world put the money back on my card. Paid $81 for the room and got a receipt for $51. I’ll never stay here again!!!
