The pictures and the rating for this property were misrepresented. The room was old and not very clean, the bed was uncomfortable, there were bugs in the room and the breakfast was just okay. If I had seen this property first, I would never have chosen to stay there. Don’t waste your money.

Decent hotel. Can’t go wrong with the price. The room could’ve been cleaned a little better. Unfortunately, super dusty and floors were dirty. And it smelled really bad that we had to buy air fresheners. But staff was super kind. I would stay again but would just hope for a cleaner room next time.

Got free parking right in front of my room. Breakfast was okay, not many people in the hotel. The TV did not work, but I did not have time to talk to the front desk about that. The heating made a lot of noise.
