Low income option

Great for migrants new to the country that might need a place to stay at an affordable rate. They accept various types of payments from pesos to Zelle. You can walk to the Mexican border from the location.

TERIBLE TERIBLE TERIBLE, DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I recerved for 2 adults 2 kids. They gave me a room that was missing a bed. The room was filthy. It had a spit on the sink. Some of the ligts did not work including the bathroom (I had to fix it). The A/C was a home window unit attached on a plywood with a lot of electric cables exposed. Later they gave me a room with the two beds but had no blankets on the beds. It had NO TV, no shower curtain. Some of the lights did not work either in this room. The bed matress was super old. THE PICTURES ONLINE MISLEAD YOU. IT DOES NOT HAVE A SWIMING POOL. This place is no up to CODE. IT NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN BY THE CITY!!!
