I mean it was cheap, but thats about it. Floors were ugly and stained. Found a spider in my shower that my wife freaked out about. Roaches in the restroom also. Room was non smoking and smelled mugy and smokey. Had to leave the door open for the first hour to try and air it out and even than I was worried about leaving it open due to weirdos walking around. Restroom got clogged in the middle of the night and at 6am I decided to call front desk
