Just sleep in your car,,,
Not a hotel. This is an single room occupancy residence that used to be a hotel but still can't sell enough monthly leases. The checkin took over 15 minutes.The kind staff gave us the best room in the house overlooking a lovely closed but algae green pool, There is no bar onsite. Lots of food and stuff nearby - which is good, you won't want to spend any more time on the property than is absolutely necessary.

Never again
1. They claim I had to sign a charge so they would get paid by Expedia.
I told them no I have never been told I have to do that. Then they showed me the credit card # , they were wanting me to sign to be charged.
2. No phone, no clock
3. Furniture looked looked terrible it was all scratched up and very old.
4 ceiling looked like it had caulking between boards.

beware
i would only book here if it’s your only option or you’re absolutely tight on money as i know it’s one of the cheaper options. went based of the reviews because they were 50/50 and the photos didn’t look bad but i would not stay here again. the bed was dirty the sheets had stains and it seems like if things aren’t used they won’t move to clean them or replace them. the bed just seems like that keep making it with the same sheets every time someone stays it felt so itchy and disgusting. the room is very spacious i’ll give it that but the floor was so dusty like they don’t vaccum or sweep. the toilet and bath tub are in such a small space it was very uncomfortable and if you’re a tall person good luck taking a shower i’m 5’2 and still had to duck for the water to reach the top of my head. my boyfriend and i needed more towels and i called the front desk and the lady was very rude. she said you have to call housekeeping i asked what their number was as it wasn’t displayed on the phone and she said you have to go out and look for them. the pool was also very green. the tv and the lamp in front of the tv did not work in the room we were given. they would flicker 24/7, and if you have littles be careful because the remote did not have a back to it super easy for a kid to grab the batteries. so yeah just beware if you’re staying in it majority of the time. we were able to suffice as we only used it to sleep but we ended up buying our own blankets and sleeping fully clothes.
