Our two rooms were close together, and being on first floor (no stairs) was great for my 92 year old mom. Excellent TV. Floor was clean, but there was a musty, mildewy smell coming from air unit. Pillows and bed linens didn't smell fresh.

It is true; this is an old facility, and the wear & tear shows. BUT I knew that when I chose to stay here. It was affordable, clean, quiet, with a comfortable bed & several different pillow types to select from. (I need a flatter pillow for my neck problems, and too often, fancy hotels only have extra fluffy pillows that don't work for me.) My shower was great! I had plenty of hot water, & the pressure was strong. Everything was clean, from the bathroom to the small fridge, the bedside table & desk surfaces, & the floors. Were there cigarette holes in the blankets? Yes, but it was a smoking room, so I didn't expect any different. The blankets & sheets were CLEAN, & that's what mattered most. Again, given the price point & the reviews I read, I knew what I was signing up for. But unlike other reviews, I did NOT see any bugs in my room, or have issues with other guests being loud or making me feel unsafe. The check-in process was great. The man who checked me in & the other man who checked me out were both nice & efficient. Everything was exactly what I expected. I gave an overall 4-star review because while it isn't the best place I've ever stayed, I didn't have any problems. I believe the people running it are keeping it clean & functioning, but keeping the price low by not doing upgrades. As long as you know what you're signing up for - a clean & comfortable place to rest your head for the night - I believe you will be pleased.
