Horrible experience

I received too much hustility from the front desk manager because I had made the booking through you guys and it was for 6 nights. So I reduced the reservations to 2 nights and promised not to do a weekly reservation. Also you show one price and then you charge extra which is not right.

Good for a night or 2.

The Castaway is a good place to stay for the price. I've stayed here before. It is clean but always has a strong smell of bleach.

Pleasantly Surprised

Great management and staff. Beyond what is typical, especially in the lower price point. I frequent the McDonald's next door and meet quite a few people who stay there regularly. Will be back again.

They really don't clean well. First I found the microwave with spoiled food, who knows how long it had been in it, and then I found a sock that wasn't mine. At night, I don't know what happened, but they knocked on the window several times while I was sleeping in the middle of the night.
