No ice, horrible air conditioner

The ice machine has not worked for over a year now, since they dont provide fridges i would think they would at least have a working ice machine. The air conditioner barely worked at times it was hot in the room cuz of it not working. Wasnt too comfortable of a stay😔

No thank you!

Remember, you get what you pay for. We made it work. It would be horrible for a family, but for two adults, it was ok. The grounds were dirty. There was a car parked there that looked like it has been there for months. There was a security guard sitting on an office chair looking at his phone in the parking lot. There is one thin blanket on the bed. No hair dryer. Smelled like weed horribly!!

Never again

Not a bad location but no fridges in the rooms and the ice machine was broken - the staff just told us to go to 7-11 and buy ice if we wanted it. Manager was disrespectful when asked and then confronted about the solution. I only stayed 1 night out of the 5 and was told I wouldn't get my money back (this was resolved). No customer service and blames the customers for not having time to fix a broken ice machine.
