Our bed literally broke in half while we were sleeping on it. The bed frame was made out of chip board. I don’t suggest staying here unless you really need to save money / have to. We were looking for a pet friendly place that didn’t break the bank. We survived. It’s sketchy.

Needed a clean safe place with pups. Owner had food recommendations. Exactly as advertised

The room smelled strong of chemicals, not sure what they were masking. Bathroom door was falling off because screws were pulling out. Tub and shower were gross. Beds and pillows were fine. $100 for this room is about $70 too much.
