The first room I got had paint coming off of the walls in a corner from the ceiling to the floor and some kind of trash around the air conditioner. The second room had the smell of “meth” coming from another room. Then was told that the world put the money back on my card. Paid $81 for the room and got a receipt for $51. I’ll never stay here again!!!
