OLD, boring room. $160/ for four walls and a shower handle that wouldn't stay in place. Nothing "wrong", just nothing. A simple, relatively clean room...no mas.

Room is fine, clean & neat. I overlooked that AC was not available so it was a little of an unwelcome surprise but I’m sure it’ll be fine once the room cools off.

The room was small but well appointed. Small refrigerator and microwave. Nice shower. We are informed there was no air conditioning but the open window and ceiling fan made it a comfortable temperature. A box fan was stored in the closet if we needed.

If i could give zero stars i absolutely would. Unfortunately I didnt read the yelp reviews on this place before staying here. Booked the room for 6 days. Long story short, the bed was dirty and hadnt been made, the bathroom was disgusting (fecal matter on the toilet seat and something all over the sink and mirror), towels on the floor and toilets. Oh and there was also a cat in the room. As soon as the office opened in the morning ( we were not able to sleep in the room obviously) i went in and talked to the older lady at the front desk who was extremely rude/hostile. She admitted the maid didnt clean the room because it "wasnt on her list". I asked for a full refund and a receipt and she said she couldnt do that and that they were going to charge me for the first night even though nothing but a chair was used for a couple of hours. Theres a lot more i could add but thats the gist of it. Save your momey, this place is absolutely terrible.
