The hotel was located close to the highway and close to a lot of stores which was good. We were only there for the night and we wanted to go get a few groceries before leaving in the morning. The hotel itself was a bit rundown. The entrance on the side of the building where we entered had garbage bins along side of it. The carpet in the stairway and hall looked old. The room itself was clean. There were 2 burn marks on the headboard and the wall, and some of the furniture was chipped. We ate at La Cage which is connected to the hotel so that was nice. We had a good meal.
