Rooms are not very clean, stained carpet and the window in our room had two small see through curtain panels that didn’t even cover the window. Had to tie a blanket to the rod to get some privacy and try to block the sun. Location is great though!

Very old and ugly

This hotel is way too overpriced compared to what they offer. Actual condition is not like what it looks on the pictures. Very outdated, ugly and old. Can't believe we paid 350$ for one night at such an ugly motel.
