There is absolutely no where to put your things or unpack. There is no closet and no furniture other than a desk w no drawers. Everything is far if you are on other end and upstairs. If you place a deposit your deposit is not refunded at checkout and I was told that it could take 5-10 days even when a credit card was used not debit card. I would not stay here again.

Would not stay here!

Run down room, sheets were filthy and stained, floors & walls were filthy. Strange smell entire visit. Sewage repair occurring in other units. Parking was tight. Check in was fast. WiFi was average. Not a place I would ever stay in again.
