Avoid
Only go here if you’re so tired you can’t drive anymore. Rooms haven’t been updated since the 80s. WiFi only works in the rooms near the lobby. Ask for that if you do go.

Dirty rooms, cigarette burns in blankets, insufficient blankets for the temperature. Lack of maintenance and basic wear renovation (eg. chipped and unmaintained sinks and areas). Discriminating behavior.
