Got what we paid for. Room was fairly clean. The bathroom could’ve used a good scrub and deep cleaning. Location was kind of tucked away and property was not super well maintained, but if you’re looking for somewhere “safe,” that is not going to break the bank, this place isn’t bad. I’ve definitely stayed in worse.

Was a good place to stay sleep for the night as long as you don’t need the heater unit the fan was quite noisy. At least, in the room that we stayed in the other ones may be good.

Old but quality

This hotel is clearly very old and from outside appearances does seem to be kind of run down. Once you get to your room youll see this isnt the case. Rooms are very well maintained and clean. For 60 dollars a night I feel i got an amazing deal
