Hot room

It was a 95°+ day, we traveled all day and when we got to the room, the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on and it was so small it took almost all night to cool off. It was a terrible night stay.

Nice enough for budget stay, still too high in $

Friendly and clean - okay for budget stay but should be about $30 lower in rate for what you get. The overwhelming perfume, likely from carpet deodorant, is hard to take. They've done a good job with cleaning, a high spot for them, but other things take away from that such as broken door chain/hoop lock; cuts in curtains; peeling paint throughout room ceiling; carpet (needs replacing with linoleum), and; many other things like almost transparent towels and unattractive elements of the room including almost no light. I'd stay at again at lower rate but my wife would not (and she isn't overly picky.)

The hotel for what it is was just fine. I kind of enjoyed the horns of the train going by in the middle of the night, really, I'm serious! Reminds me of home...if you're looking for a Hilton then go to a Hilton
