Upon asking about a room the front desk clerk, who was very nice, told me that if I wanted a non smoking room and would be paying cash I would have to leave a 75 dollar deposit. Since I was paying with cash and didn't really want to pay the deposit I asked about a smoking room thinking it couldn't be that bad. WRONG!! The carpet in the room was black, the room was so unclean I was afraid to even touch the grimy comforter on
The bed The tv looked liked it was purchased in the 70's and the microwave looked like it had been thrown around scraping half the paint off of it and then not cleaned afterwards. The concrete wall behind the beds was painted a dark brown but a mirror had been added to give some type of appeal. Honestly it was like being in a dirty dungeon It didn't take us long to decide we wouldn't stay in that room so we went back and talked to the front clerk. She let us see a nonsmoking room which was sooo much better but still had somewhat of a smoke smell. It was cleaner by a mile than the first room but the overall impression had already been set plus I had to pay the 75 dollar deposit. By the way, they way they handle the deposit is to put in an envelope with your name on it for the next clerk They actually didn't see a need for a receipt but did give me one after I asked in case someone lost my envelope
