Convenient location, we had a bungalow that didn’t have a parking port so we had to park in front of the bungalow. Service was great, property is very aged- seemed like there may have been water damage (bubbling on the door and areas of the floor), bathroom door didn’t close, holes in the bed skirt, furniture very worn, looks like repairs started but never finished in some spots.

Rough around the edges

The place was clean, convenient and reasonably comfortable. Stark lighting, worn furniture, corroded metal in the bathroom, old tv, and no bedside lights created a negative vibe, made worse by the musty odor. If none of those things bothers you, you’ll be fine.

The room was quiet and mostly clean. The floor was a little dirty because the bottoms of my white socks were dirty brown from walking on the floor for just a few minutes. The rest of the place was immaculate. The coat hanger rack was detached from the wall on one of its corners. No other complaints other than those items.
