Our bed mattress was very old and lumpy. The sides were broken down. The heating system would never satisfied. We sat the temperature for heat and then after reaching a certain temperature it would switch to cool and run and run and run until we had to get up several times during the night and turn it off.

The hotel is in a good location. Just off I40 and close to Old Town. Lots of options within walki g distance. Clean, nice staff. No breakfast available. Free coffee in Lobby. Too close to HWy. So, so, neighborhood. Dated. Windows are sealed and HVAC annoying and noisy. OK for a night to go out in Old Town.
