Unespected experience

It was a new experience for us this kind of service, because we do not expected to share the bathroom, but the other guest, was very quiet, the pillow and maitress very confortable, and the frontman (Mr. Ice cube) very gentil person, so, very nice new experience!

I hate to say it, and I’ll be the first to admit my standards for this kind of thing are lower than most, but this room was so bad that I checked out and got another room somewhere else 10 minutes after seeing it. The room wasn’t advertised as having a hostel-style shared bathroom and entry space, but I figured it was fine as long as the bathroom door locked - but it didn’t, and that’s just hugely gross and unsafe. The individual bedroom door wouldn’t reliably lock about 70% of the time either, getting stuck constantly. The smoke detectors were all ripped out, none of the outlets worked, the lights flickered, the surfaces were dirty, the bed was gross, and the bedroom itself was barely big enough to spread both your arms out in without hitting either wall. The low price and the comically Mr. Krabs-ian “NO REFUNDS” signage posted repeatedly should have tipped me off, but it’s just ridiculous they would leave even a budget room in this state and expect someone not to balk. I was prepared for a little discomfort so I could save money, but the safety issues that just kept mounting the more I looked were dealbreaking. I lost money in my attempt to save money; the clerk took pity on me and gave my $40 damage deposit back, which I do really appreciate, but their boss wouldn’t let them give me the rest, which is just silly as I was “checked in” for a total of 15 minutes (the clerk hadn’t even finished putting my info in the system by the time I called it quits). Avoid this place!

Read fine print most likely, your bath room will be shared with another occupant, not in your party. Bug fest 2024 starts after sundown every day different sizes with no discrimination fit pocketbook and then some fit in your ear and others in your food. Checked out same day we checked in due to unwelcome permanent residents (roaches). Management aware and treat when notified of infestation, however not a refundable issue.

You share a bathroom with 2 other people so weird i never stayed in a hotel like that! Also the room is a bed and tv thats it barely can move around its a super small room! It was a smoking room i dont smoke i usually can tolerate it but i left the room gagging because of all the smoke and slept in my car waste of money i will never come back here spend an extra 10 bucks and get your own private bathroom! Plus the bathroom the people left it so nasty and dirty!
