“The room I was in was 121 and it's very good compared to one I stayed in a few months ago that was so bad I had to buy cleaning supplies and clean the shower myself. Never got to take a shower because seeing the gunk and black goop that was washing away ruined it for me. I got the shower looking brand new but couldn't get it out of my head. That room was towards the back, can't remember the number. Anyways, it's quiet and never really anyone stays there, but they are hard core about the no visitors rule, got brought some Wendy's from a friend and they stayed and ate and I got chewed out for it. That and they're incredibly strict with their check out time. They'll call the room at 10:55 and tell you to get out, and then at 11 if you're not all the way out you have to leave the door open and she sits and watches you/comes in and starts cleaning around you. It's awesome though because they take cash. One more thing they charge a 10 dollar deposit and another 10 for the room key because they're the house type of door locks and not a card key. Dirt cheap though.”
