We had to change rooms because the first one they provided was smelly and dirty. Some of the staff acted like they were suspicious we were doing something wrong. In one case they asked how many people we had in the room. I've never been asked that after checking in.

Room had hair everywhere on the floor and all over the pillows. There is a janky outlet for the lamp and the TV didn’t work.

Sketchy area in the two story building. Broken down cars and a pitbull with people hanging around. I refused the first room they gave me. They offered up another one near the office that was better and I accepted it. Overall lower than expected and my expectations weren’t very high.
