Good for the price and location.
"I’ve stayed here before and the rooms are definitely getting old. Bathroom really needs updating. But it was still acceptable for one night. Both ladies in the office for check-in and out were so kind and friendly. Great spot and good value. I’d stay here again even though it’s rather old."
