It was nice, but the restaurant/bar attached was closed/out of business, the complimentary breakfast was lacking: ran out of coffee, eggs were not so great, the pool area was dirty, and there was no turn-down service to ask for extra pillows or towels. Also, the blankets were itchy. The front desk was very nice and polite. It was a nice stay, the place just needs some TLC.

The building's age definitely shows. I will make sure to be more proactive next time so I don't end up staying here. We simply needed a bed to sleep in and were in the room for 12 hours, so we weren't bothered by any means. But wow, old building. Very dirty vibes inside and out. Major renovations needed, or just tear the place down. I appreciate the cheap rate at least. Ya get what ya pay for.

This hotel is good for the price but could use some TLC-especially with the breakfast. I could rather have a cold choice breakfast that is clean and safe than a hot breakfast that looks unsanitary or not edible.

My bed had a huge sink hole to sleep in. Breakfast was all gone and very dirty for service area and tables. No fruit, beverages besides milk-I cannot drink milk. Safty an issue too as many of outside doors had broken locks so anyone could come in without their card.
