Not Horrible for a one night stay
Most important: The room was clean including the bathroom, floor and beds. The queen bed's comfort was OK for one person but it would suck if there were 2 people on it. The sheets were not soft and the top blanket was a throw back to the late 80's but kept me warm. Walls are thin so you can hear a lot from the adjoining rooms but the place was quiet after 9pm. If you are looking for cheap (under $100) and staying 1-2 nights it's not horrible. I have stayed in worse and paid more. If you are in the area for longer and desire more comfortable amenities you have a lot more options in the area.
