We stayed over for one night here. The room was clean. The hotel is clearly older and could be updated but I can’t complain for the cheap price I paid. It was a good place to stay overnight. Breakfast wasn’t that great but again it was worth what we paid.

The heating unit in the room was very loud.... Like a truck was running in the room kind of loud. It was windy outside and the wind was blowing through the window seal like it would in a 100 year old house. Very disappoining!
