Location is easy to access. Condition of the property was generally poor. Bedding did not appear to have been changed. Mattress was visibly stained on sides. Carpet needs replaced. Limited breakfast offerings. If you can afford to pay a little more for a better stay, I would recommend.

On arrival, I found my room was not locked. The door was crooked, causing the door jam not to match up. It couldn't latch. Door jam was bent up, as well as the inside security lock. I asked for help but the man at the desk needed to stay there so that wasn't helpful. Then I Asked to switch rooms, but was told they were completely booked. I opened the curtain and there were dead flies all over the window sill. The toilet was dirty and there were multiple cobwebs in the room. I don't usually do reviews, but this experience was quite disappointing.

The one good thing at this place was the water pressure. Other than that it was a little sketchy. Our door would not close or lock properly and our keys were not working right either. I had to go to the desk to have them rescanned. Our room had a big void in it like there used to be a second bed in the room. No chair or small couch nothing just a big empty space. Next time I will spend a little extra money at a different hotel.
