Very disappointed!!
I was in desperate need , when I inquired their quote was a lot higher than the internet ( I’m on a tight budget ) originally she was going to charge me $30 for my service animals but after I purchased on the internet she then charged me $235 for my pets , then I had to pay $40 for late checkout( the guy didn’t even want me to stay even though it’s advertised ) . The water pressure was horrible , I had to clean the room before I brought my stuff in , they had no “ do not disturb” signs, ( the guy in office took a piece of paper and wrote do not disturb and handed it to me) the other customers were sketchy to say the least . I found drug paraphernalia in the smoking / sitting area , many dogs of other customers were off leash , hair dryer didn’t work , no coffee pot , refrigerator was off initially, no pet area and the close parks don’t allow dogs. Honestly, for the price a little over $800 for a week , it isn’t worth it !!! I could have dealt with a lot but between not feeling safe , the staff were nasty, the water pressure, and the money .. I should’ve stayed somewhere else .

They were incredibly rude and scammy. Didn’t return full $100 deposit and when I called they said they charge a processing fee if you use credit or debit card. Nothing wrong with the way we left the room at all. The guy also kept threatening to charge me more because my friend dropping me off had a dog in the car. I told him the dog was not staying in the room. Basically, just be weary and know they keep $8 of your security deposit for no reason unless you pay cash oven though we booked and paid through Expedia. The room was okay, what you’d expect of a super cheap motel.

Still value for the budget minded
Could still hear trains go by around bedtime. I was in one of the few rooms where there was a room above - could hear folks walking upstairs on hardwood floor upstairs and folks talking in room next to me - not sound insulated. My bed squeaked. Bathroom recently upgraded and nice. Price is cheap, but they should still offer one bottle of water when you arrive.
