The person checking us in was so nice so this is not a reflection of them. But the place is AWFUL. We had to switch rooms three time (marijuana smell, broken air conditioners) and still ended up in one that had no AC. It was late, my kids were tired, so we dealt with it but I would have normally left. Room smelt and very dirty exterior.
Room smells distinctly like smoking, among other things. Floors are filthy. Cobwebs behind the toilet, along with pee, sink literally appears to have vomit leftover from another "guest". Door latch seems to be made from plastic. Police taking a guest away as we pulled in, and another one playing rather loud music and drinking beer in the parking lot.
I stopped here after visiting the baseball Hall of Fame. It was much as I expected. No frills but everything clean and in good repair. The room was a bit small but the beds might have been the most comfortable that we slept on in a week of touring. Good location too.
