Rooms in poor condition, second hand looking furniture, steps to the second floor rusted through and unsafe. The night clerk was very nice, and tried to be as helpful as possible, but woul not recommend as anything other than an emergency stop. If we hadnt been driving for 12 hours with 3 kids, we would have slept in the car

You get what you pay for. If you expect a $50/night room you will be “satisfied”. If you expect $150 while paying $50 you will be extremely dissatisfied.
