The hotel was nice and it looked clean but I saw a huge cockroach and the staff wasn’t helpful at all. The people staying looked sketchy too and I was afraid for my car parked outside.

Everything about this place was nothing like it was on the website. I also got an email that I’d have to do a $50 security deposit, but when I went to check in, they said it was $100. Just inconvenient. All in all it was a good stay.
