This place is very dirty. The sheets are worn, the pillows are dirty, it feels unsafe, and it smells horrible. If you have children, I don't recommend this place.

Just pay the extra money for something nicer if you can. Beds hard. One pillow. Light in bathroom didn’t work. Door was hard to open. Pretty sure a drug deal happened across the street. If you do decide to stay here be safe.
