We usually stay at budget friendly hotels and usually only require the basics. This place barely met the basics. Staff was very friendly and location great. The room itself though was sub par. The towels were very old and thin. The bed was not very comfortable and bedding not great. Only outlet was outlet for lamp. The water from the shower runs on the floor because there is barely a lip to catch it. It served its purpose for a night but I would not stay here again.
