There were people smoking and drinking outside their room, despite a posted policy forbidding it. The man cleaning up the parking lot joked with them, picked up garbage and moved on. The bathroom floor and room floor had built up grime from it not being mopped properly. The television and cable were unplugged and the remote had dead batteries. There was no coffee available in the room. When I asked for a late check-out (1 hour more) it was refused even though I gave up a kitchenette room for a regular one. If you can get a room at the Western Budget, stay there instead!

I'm not kidding when I say thousands of Bugs EVERYWHERE the room probably hasn't seen the light of day in years I immediately requested my money back this place is the most unhygienic property I've ever seen the pictures are NOT OF THE ROOMS AT ALL. I booked a jacuzzi suite and they said it was more expensive than what I paid for. But that's what I booked that place needs to be torn down if the carpenter ants don't chew through the building first. We were ABSOLUTELY BAFFLED
