This hotel was ok. Truly felt bad for the gentleman who was working when we went to check in. The computer was down, the lobby was packed and he was trying to assist the inpatient customers along with fix the problem to allow everyone to check in. The gentleman at the desk I commend him for his diligence and patience with the customers. The room is why i gave it three stars. The location is ok, the bed was horrible, it was very loud when you made any move, very uncomfortable. The little balcony off of the room was nice, but the drapes were filthy. The white one on the inside had what looked like mold or dirt on the bottom. The regular one smelled really bad and you can tell hasn't been cleaned in quite some time. For the price we paid for this hotel, I can honestly say I will look elsewhere next time.

The room was nice enough but the shower was terrible. It took a very long time to get hot water and once it came out, it had no pressure at all. Only a slight trickle and the shower floor was very slippery. I almost fell twice. Staff was nice and the breakfast was good as well.
