Basic Stay
Easy check in through this app. Room was outdated, small, barely any channels on the tv. Only thing they offered for breakfast was coffee. If you are just looking to sleep and take a shower this was the place.

Lizard guest
Service was good, the room could have been cleaned a little better, had spider webs in a few areas, cockroach eggs in plain sight, plus had a lizard crawl in our room, due to not having a guard or cover plate on the bottom of the door, thankfully we didn’t get a visit from something bigger like a snake, since the room was close to an undeveloped area.

Decent place to stay in the price range. Easy to park and the room was clean. The only downside was that the walls are pretty thin and it did get a kind of loud at night because we could hear the rooms next to us.
