Umang, the gentleman at the front desk at check in, was EXTREMELY polite. He got me checked in very quickly with zero issue. My only small complaint with the property is the “closet” in the room. There really is nowhere to hang a coat or clothing. Other than that,

The room smelled like urine and we ended up sleeping in our car in the parking lot because it was so bad and just using the bathroom inside. Don’t waste your money here.
