Not the classiest place, BUT, we enjoyed the location & price, and it was pretty clean (there were hairs stuck to the shower walls). The BAD: 1. The deadbolt on the room door did not function at all. 2. I used the bathroom and locked myself in; turning the door knob from either side does not retract the bolt. Luckily I had my pocket knife and was able to move the bolt far enough to clear the striker plate and escape. We never closed that door again. 3. The TV was the smallest and had the fewest channels I've seen in a long time. 4. The window AC installed on the floor did not circulate air very well. 5. No housekeeping service was provided during our 3 night stay. 6. The bathroom had no shelf to sit anything on. Would I stay there again? Probably
