So we were just here for one night. It seems fairly clean but since there are stains it “feels” dirty. The bed was comfortable. There were soaps and shampoo, a fridge and decent sized tv. The whole place needs updated but it also wasn’t horrible if you keep in mind that it’s just old. It was just ok but the price was right.
