“The property's interior, seemingly better than its exterior suggests, offers affordable rates that include complimentary breakfast. However, cleanliness and pest control appear to be concerns that prospective guests should consider. While the mattresses and pillows are reportedly comfortable, some reports mention odors and cleanliness issues.”
