The only good thing is the room was clean. The remote control which was the second I received only got 2 channels and the sound was poor. The mattress was as hard as a board and was not compatible with sleepingl.
The pillowcases did not cover the pillows. I left within a few hours of check in. I could not sleep on that mattress.

Filthy Gross Place
There was blood on the sheets and mattress pad! No answer when we called down so went to desk and remade the bed. Next day DO NOT DISTURB sign on door, they disregarded the sign and entered our room anyway. Invasion of privacy.
After complaining, the guy at the desk said we wouldn’t have to pay. No refund and when I called they pretend that they don’t speak English. THE MOST DISGUSTING AND DISRESPECTFUL PLACE! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Very basic.
The only good things are that it's cheap, the location is easy and there is parking. The beds have a metalic base which is noisy, like a bell. Breakfast was really bad, not even the basics! The cleaning and handyman people were very nice but the manager and front desk were not helpful.

First timer visit
Great staff. Nice locale, privately enclosed with pool. Underground parking is a plus. Ran out of waffle batter. A cockroach appeared on the dresser. Shower handle was hard to turn. Mattress springs could be felt. Old towels mixed with newer ones. Old ones should be reserved for pool use only. Budget price is good for quality.

While not completely horrible, it was not a very good hotel. The curtains had black spots staining them throughout indicative of a potential bed bug infestation or mold spores at least. Only 2 towels in a double bed room meant to sleep at least 4. The beds are extremely firm and the frames made of cheap aluminum that sounds like thunder when bumped.The staff at least was very accommodating

You get what you paid for!
For the price, i will give an okay to this place. There is a parking below the hotel which is convenient. I have very low expectations for the clearness and it failed to meet it. The floor was filthy when i checked in. I don't believe they ever clean the floor.The smal towels left from previous guest. There is a breakfast in the morning, but anytime i went there , something was not working, either the toaster or the pan cake maler.

Please don’t stay here
If cleanliness is what you’re after do not stay here. The bedspreads are all stained, showers are filthy, towels are gross. Our door barely closed (had to slam it) and the swing lock didn’t have the swing part. Door was chipped away. Air conditioners leaking everywhere. Extremely stained and broken tile and grout in the bathroom. The curtains… don’t touch them. They’re gross
Our room and our friends room smelled so funny… think it was the bathrooms. Nd the bed frames are tin/thin metal. God forbid you hit them it like an avalanche sound in your room.
But they did have a random microwave on a table outside. So they have that going for them.
If you want to check in early it’s an additional $20 an hour. And if ya turn on the red switch between the beds disco lights come on over the beds. I would have preferred clean bedding.
I would never stay here again. It was awful and scummy.
