Very Comfortable and $100 Deposit

It was a comfortable place to stay for sure. Just keep in mind there is a $100 deposit that needs to be paid up before you check in. However if you keep the room clean you can get that money back at checkout

Our tub was dirty in our first room. We went to tell the front desk and he moved us to another room where the outlets by the bed did not work in this tub was slightly more clean than the last but still dirty overall. We showered with shoes. There was also scraping above our room at 6 AM to about 8 AM on both nights we stayed. We also noticed dirt buildup by the AC unit and stains on the bed skirts of the beds.
