Pretty simple accommodations - for $130 I usually get a fridge and coffee pot. No USB charging ports, very basic lighting fixtures. Nothing really wrong except the price. This is an $85 stay.

Absolutely horrible experience. I don’t know where they’re getting these good reviews. They must pay for them because they are not warranted. People were actually living in this place. It is a flop house. Loud music, parties all night long. I will say that it was clean and the manager was a delight. But that does not make this place safe or enjoyable at all. There was a flimsy sheet on the bed along with the flimsiest comforter that should’ve been thrown out 10 years ago, it had zero padding. I got zero sleep, and I wanted to leave in the middle of the night. I left as soon as the sun came up I checked into another hotel. I expressed my concern on checking in with the manager and then again that following morning when I turned my keys in. Do not believe the reviews. If this is all that you can afford, that’s one thing, but if you want a genuinely nice and safe place to stay, look elsewhere.

The room was clean and comfortable. We only stayed one night so we could party on the island without worrying about driving home at night.
