Convenience location but was surprised to have my unit painted (exterior) during my stay. That is not something you spring on some last min. Otherwise you get what you pay for.

When we arrived there was a couple in front of us trying to get refunded for their room because of roaches. After they left I asked if I could just cancel my room instead of checking in. The man at the front desk tried to tell us the couple was lying about the bugs in the room. We agreed to check-in and inspect the room, but what was so strange was the man said "Are you going to give me $100 if there's no roaches?" We personally didn't see any but only stayed there overnight. SKIP THIS PLACE
