My room was dirty. My sheets had cigarette holes and burns. My sheets and pillow cases were dirty looking.I woke up with Three bedbugs bite on my elbow. I then told management and they said we don't have bedbugs and walked off. No vinding machine. No restaurant within walking distance. Management walks straight in your room in the morning without knocking. And most of all the rooms is not worth asking price.

I was asked if I wanted a smoking or non-smoking room when I arrived. I didn't think this was still an option.. All rooms reeked of smoke. Drug deals were happening outside. I didn't stay more than 30 minutes. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
