When we arrived, Google Maps led us to a USPS buildingâwhich makes sense, because this "apartment" literally shares walls with the post office. Weird start. Then we stepped out of the car to a reeking, overflowing dumpster and followed check-in instructions to a flimsy, unlockable door.Inside, the stairwell smelled like gas. The unit had spider webs everywhere, fly traps crusted with dead flies, a broken kitchen window screen, and a janky back door. The appliances were nice, but the scratched-up floor and flimsy ceiling tiles made it feel half-finished. No closetâjust a metal hanger on the back of the basement door. The dining setup? A decent table and two metal prison chairs.But the bed and pillows... oh man. The bed was awfulâsqueaky, unstable, and possibly street-picked. The pillows felt like they were sourced from a North Korean prison museum. Light poured in through cheap blinds, and the vibe was just creepy. Iâve slept on floors in developing countries and been more comfortable.And yes, the attached musty basement made the whole place smell.Bottom line: save your money. A Motel 8 would be a luxury compared to this. I didnât expect muchâbut a decent nightâs sleep shouldnât be too much to ask.
