It appears to be in the process of renovation. I did find a live water bug in the tub which I disposed of. Floor needed to be cleaned but the beds were very good. Bedding and towels were clean. Staff did not speak English but were friendly.

Yuk. Only stay if you have to.

Very shabby. Missing smoke detector. Hair in the tub. Dirty fingerprints on bathroom wall. Room number was a piece of paper taped to the door. View was a storage container. I left at 5:00 AM by choice. Paint job and caulking in the bathroom looked like it was done by a five year old. Tub stained Gross.
