The rooms are small. No carpet. Two chairs without cushions and a small table. A fridge, but no microwave. The toilet/tub room door barely fits past the toilet. There isn't anything fancy or new about this place. But it totally met my expectations and I am happy to save some money. I didn't need any of the luxuries of a better hotel.
