It felt like I'd won the lottery, and it was my lucky day! I had not seen anything be available here before. For the price, this value was unreal!!!!!!! I was afraid it was a scam, or that there would at least be a hidden fee, and i was wrong, it really was true! The only negative is there was no way to get more than one night- there is no last minute adjustments, but thats not really a negative its just in high demand! Ooh the having to pick up the key at a different hotel was something that should be mentioned first, i was completely thrown off by that lol!!!

This was an unfortunately negative experience due to the lack of communication once reserving the room. When we arrived to the property, there was no front desk and no way to get in to the building. Someone eventually opened the door stating they were the building manager and that they had been looking for my number (clearly provided in the reservation) because we needed to go to another location to pick up our key. She said she could let us in but we would need to go pick up a key if we wanted to leave the room and return later. It felt pretty worrisome to leave our things locked in a room we were unsure we would be able to return to. There was no offer for support or really any understanding of how concerning this was for us. We did end up going to the other location (which is not mentioned anywhere) and we were able to get to our room. Once in there, there were no towels to shower, only hand towels and a pack of condoms on the floor next to the bed, letting us know that the room was not likely well cleaned before our arrival.

THIS IS NOT A HOTEL
ZERO communication from the property. I had to drive to a random motel and pick up my room key there. There isn’t a receptionist area. BEWARE THIS PLACE IS FALSE ADVERTISING. Parking spots are designated and not assigned upon check in. You will risk having your vehicle towed. Found trash from the previous guests on the floor inside the hotel room. I couldn’t use the shower because it looked dirty. The bedsheets were FILTHY and the pillows had BLOOD STAINS. Thankfully I travel with my own pillows. Mattress was so springy and uncomfortable, the floor was much more comfortable. I’ve stayed in hostels around the world with better quality than this junk.
