It was nice, the room was clean the bathroom could use. Some touch ups. Only complaints are there’s no accessible outlets, only ones being near the bathroom. Also my AC didn’t have grates so it didn’t really blow air upwards it all got thrown to one mattress which sucked because I was on the other one. And the last thing is a bunch of fruit flies randomly kept popping up. Besides those 3 complaints everything else was fine.

First of all, the entrance was hard to find. Its location was weird, like in between of highway junctions, and I had to turn into small roads under the highways to get in otherwise, I would have missed it. The first moment we walked into the lobby we could smell weed and smoke. The staff is old but nice. However, when my friend and I checked the first room we got, it smelled stinky, like sweet and musty, very weird smell I had never experienced before, to the point that I couldn't bear it. We switched the room 2 times, and that smell remained. We even aired the room out for about 20 minutes but it didn't help us. My friend felt dizzy while airing the room out. Pretty sure this smell is in all place in the building. We asked to check out since day one and were overcharged than the rate we paid per night via Expedia. I was definitely worried about getting bed bugs after more research on the smell source.
