The people that rated this hotel a 9 must have pretty low standards. Birds nest on the air conditioner by our heads as we opened the door. The reason why we chose this was 3 guys and a room with three beds. Tiny bathroom. The AC was difficult to figure out; kept shutting off and actually one of the heat registers started kicking on as well. Beds are old and need replacing. But it served its purpose -- a bed and a shower.

I've stayed here twice now as a one-night stop en route to my final destination and will stay here again. Although the rooms are showing their age, they have been kept up well. Overall, I've gotten what I wanted, that is a clean bed and a clean bath. Bonus points for a strong wi-fi.
