Cash, 2 kinda of room jacquzzi and regular. Rooms aren’t the cleanest but considering there’s no deposit it comes with the territory. Had an issue where I had to change rooms due to an external issue(nothing with the hotel) and they were quick to accommodate

The room was comfortable and warm. The desk clerk was really nice. I will be going back. The only thing is no microwave oven.
