I very much enjoyed my night. Of course, the hotel was a bit outdated, but it was quiet, clean, very affordable and the bed was super comfortable. I'd definitely recommended and come again.

The hotel is dated and rundown. It is desperate need of a remodel. Our room smelled moldy and the breakfast was limited and all-in-all non-existent.

Decent Room Decent Price

The service was great the people were nice. The only issue was there were two queen beds in the room one of the queen beds was somewhat hobbled towards the head of the bed making it about 4 inches lower than the foot of the bed. Also they smell of mildew or mold from maybe water damage was noticeable in the room and in the hall. They did have a humidifier in the hall trying to absorb the moisture in order from here but other than the small inconvenience everything was fine.

Key card didn't work and staff didn't check to verify that it worked after having to let me into the room initially, so it happened again late at night when I came back and had to wait forever to get into my room again.
