It's cheap, but you get what you pay for. Except for the bed, everything else is dirty and old. The towels are almost worn out and no longer white. Don't walk on barefoot and avoid touching anything.

The property is very outdated and not clean. The toilet was fthy, the towels were stained and I moved the nightstand looking for an outlwt and there was garbage and papers there indicating no one has moved or vacuumed there in quite some time. The sheets seemed fine, but the bedspread did not seem clean at all. I think they need to do an overhaul and invest a little money in some necessities. I

I wouldn't stay here again. The door lock opened by a key and the lock seemed loose. The furnishings were dated and worn but the worst of all was the bathroom sink faucet which barely trickled water. When I tried to brush my teeth, I had to take a plastic cup filled with water from the the bath tub faucet to rinse my mouth.
