1. Couldn’t fine any place to park (will get towed if over night) has to park a block away witch we circled several times before finally calling to ask where to park. Was told to park in a section where it was dark and two 18wheeler trailers were parked. (we parked at the store down the block) 2. Place does not look like the pictures show. WHAT-SO-EVER!!! Very displeased, because it’s no refundable when booked. ( Didn’t even get out of the car and didn’t wanna stay there) 3. Keys are like a house key. Kinda scary because anyone could get another one made. We had no use for 2 keys but took them anyways. Place wasn’t well lit just felt scared the entire time there. 4. Walked into the room had a horrible smell like incense and like a wet smell. There is an old timey looking radio plugged in by the bed. (No other electronics in the room) Besides a dehumidifier WITCH WAS FULL had to DUMP OUT MYSELF! 5. Weird stains all over the walls. Just looked utterly disgusting. Didn’t want to touch my hands on the walls much less my feet on the ground! 6. The bed is very low to the ground but quite comfortable when you get over the odd wet smell in the room. 7. Has complementary waters in a box (thought that was nifty) did have essential oil air freshener witch did nothing but still nice thought. 8. the bathroom is odd/different the towels are in the shower with you (kinda nifty again) and they have complementary soap, shampoo and conditioner. it’s all natural so it isn’t your normal smell kinda like a rose. and it’s full size bottles locked into the shower. 9. Generally the bathroom was the cleanest place in there. not to mention the odd day bed/couch in the room that we never even touched. (Back to how disgusting the room looks I don’t want to touch anything that I don’t need to. 10. Finally back to the bathroom seemed clean but when stepping out of the shower my husband cut his foot on something and (back to the way the room looks) he freaked out. so never again.
