Old refrigerator was small & the tiny freezer was so caked with inches of ice the door wouldn’t close. Weird toilet would hit the wall and bang against the wall if you sat down. Outdated.

It was a convenient location, but the shower didn't work well, and there was no plug in the sink drain. The free breakfast was out of decaf and biscuits two of the three days I had it. Hot foods like bacon and eggs would have been nice. The staff was not especially welcoming, and the maid did not service my room at all. I ran out of coffee, creamer, and sugar. The price and location were the most favorable things about this hotel, but I was disappointed in the service and breakfast.
