The room we had was on the front , it sounded like drag racing all night , and that really cut into my sleep. But the room was clean and comfy, the gal at the counter was nice . I think I would stay there again in a different room away from the street

No complaints here.

For an old downtown hotel i was surprised that it was semi decent. Had some mexicans partying a few doors down but they weren't bothering anybody. Over all a really good place to stay for less than 60 bucks.

Absolutely no amenities. No coffee machine, not even in the lobby either, I don't believe. Still using the "Night Check in Window". it's a stuffy little add on off of the main lobby. All that being said room was clean and cheap and for this trip it was what I was looking for.
