I've stayed in some rough places before, but this was the new worst.
I showed up late around 2am and was looking for somewhere to crash after a flight. The fact that there were multiple groups of people up milling around the complex at this time should have been a warning sign.
I laid down and tried to get a few hours sleep before work the next day. Then the music started back up. People in the room below me played loud sporadic bass music the entire night. I had ear plugs in, but with bassy sounds like this it didn't matter, the bed buzzed, it would occasionally sound like someone banging on the wall. It would stop for 5 minutes, then start back up for 15. Stop, start. This went on for hours, no end in sight. Whoever was downstairs was not planning on sleeping.
I finally game up on trying to sleep at 5am. $88 for a 3 hour stay, that sucks when you're trying to save money. At least you can take a shower... Hopefully I didn't catch anything (per another review below).
I assume the people who I saw and heard up all night were using drugs and selling them from the unit below me based on the comings and going of people I observed when checking out. A car would pull up, someone would hop out while another person stayed in the car and left it running, then they'd be back in a couple minutes and drive away.
Oh, and I said something to the night manager. Nice guy, he seemed truly oblivious to this. I'd guess he's a bit intimidated by running such a large, mostly empty, decrepit complex and doesn't want to go confront someone who may be commiting a crime about noise at 3 in the morning. Best to just stay behind the security glass and ride it out till the morning.
In short, if you want a bad memory, but a memory none the less, stay here. If you're looking for illegal drugs, you can probably find them. Want to f with a friend who lost a bet? Book then a weekend night here. Want a good night's sleep? Just sleep in your car, on a quiet bench, or anywhere else than this.
Save your money, go somewhere else!
