Although the price was dirt-cheap at $35.00 a night, it certainly wasn't worth saving a few bucks. The "retreat" is actually located in a rough part of town with bars on everyone's windows, abandoned burnt-down buildings, and gated front yards. I had to pay in advance by mail with a check. They almost never answered the phone. When I arrived, the manager told me she over-booked and I'd have to stay in a storage-type area just through a massive pile of junk that she called an office. It was freezing cold. The manager slept in the room next to me with no door on her room. There was no lock on my door. The smoke detector beeped the entire time I was there from a low battery that she didn't want to bother changing (even though I offered to help with the ladder). She also had a dog that shed all over the couches in the lounge. I never got a receipt for my visit because she couldn't find it. Although I wasn't expecting luxurious accomodations, it would have been nice to at least have some level of decency, professionalism and safety. Instead, I felt like I was staying with a crazy aunt. To her credit, she was a very sweet woman but just didn't have it altogether.
