AC was decent. Parking was ok. The room was too expensive for the condition. It was very old and run down. No ice machine, shower was not good, the tv didn’t work, and the bed was uncomfortable.

So bad. The bed folded like a taco when you laid in it. Dingy. Broken furniture. Tweakers banging around at 4:00 am. I don’t mind staying in budget places but this was the worst.
