if you're looking for a cheap place to stay then look no further than this place! Carl was a good host, very nice to talk to, but the issues of staying here lies elsewhere.
There is construction going on in the kitchen and living room so don't expect a warm looking home when arriving, instead you are greeted with hot air that lingers in the house all day and night long due to no ventilation in there. Carl has wifi which you can connect to but we never managed to get service out of it, thankfully we have unlimited data so this wasn't an issue but I'm sure that's not the case for others. Then there is the Amenities, there is a TV but don't expect one in your room, there is one in the kitchen area which has to be shared with everyone else staying there. Essentials claims to have soap and towels available but I never saw any in the rest room, again we were prepared so this wasn't an issue either. The shower head is way too low, I'm 5'6" and had to bend down just to properly wash myself. Finally on our second night I could hear what sounded like a bad pornographic movie (there was lots of woman moans) coming from Carl's bedroom, this got us to leave a night prior to our check out and head back home after our event there. The walls are rather thin and you can hear people walking in and out of their rooms at night, this can be an issue if you're a light sleeper.
Beyond that if you're looking for a place to just sleep then this is pretty decent, bed is comfortable and your room has a window with a fan which helps get rid of the heat of the house. The price is good but remember: you get what you pay for.
