"Immediately got bad vibes when we pulled up and there was no sign and no cars in the parking lot, but thought all we needed was a bed for the night. Don’t do it… we got to the room and it was run down and infested with bed bugs. As we went back to the office to check out and process refund, we saw three different drug deals go down from someone I the corner unit. Cats would pull up, guy would come out talk to them for 30 seconds and then car would leave….unfortunately would not recommend even...
