Parking is ample but very dark. Almost no lights, which made it feel very sketchy. As you open the door, there is a distinctive smell, and the hallway reeks cigarette smell. Because there is a bit of a gap with the door, you can smell the cigarette smell when you are going to sleep. I also found spiders in my room. As one can tell, I did not have a great experience in this hotel.

Old hotel that felt like a ghost town. Toilet got clogged with barely anything in it. Little to no amenities. Only stay here if there’s no other cheap options.

Not bad. Good value for economy travelers. I'm sure it was fabulous 40 years ago, now it's just a quiet, clean, but antiquated place to rest at night. Coffee and vending machines inside, dollar store and useful bus stop down the block.
