Its not bad for the price but it was not the best. There was some hair in the bed when I checked in and the key card stopped working so that anyone from the outside could open the door.

There was a fabulous restaurant down the road. Our room was not good. There are people who actually live in this hotel. They stand outside and smoke...a lot. There are ash stains everywhere by the doors. We were greated by a horrible smell when we entered our overheated room. There were pubic hairs all over the bathroom. There were dead flies in the corners of the room. We stayed in 2 different rooms at this hotel. Both were bad. If my husband had not prepaid for the second at the end of the week, we would not have returned after the first night.

It was much worse than pictures. Smelled like smoke. I spilled water on the ground and wiped it up and the cloth was black. 0/10 recommend. Thankfully the food nearby was good. I would never stay here again

The front desk staff was not very friendly, although we did arrive quite late at night. Our room was tidy, but by no means clean and smelt strongly of cigarettes. The beds were fine and check out was easy.
