The room smelled like roach spray. The tub had hair all over it. I understand the price was low but so was the effort of the upkeep. Sanitation is a must these days.

Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Had to get a new key every night, not sure why the key system wasn't working. Had no shower curtain, even though I asked every day. Room could have used a good pressure washing...
