I just dont know

The staff was AMAZING. Everything made me regret being here. My room stunk of weed because of one of the other rooms, i can hear every word of the conversation the next room was having, the couple fighting and screming, etc. The bed makes you appreciate the crappy one at home. You get what you pay for.

Room 231 was disgusting. The bedframe had mold and brown crust on it, the lamps flickered, the sofa fabric was worn through, and the floor had greasy spots on it from where cleaner or pest spray had been used and not wiped up. I had to spend the night somewhere else.
