I don’t know where to begin there’s homeless people outside the front entrance all day, the room is maybe 12by12 has no toilet but has a sink that has brown water come out each time you use it. you can’t adjust the temperature in the room there’s stains all over the comforter. It’s really just a run down motel in a bad area
