A nice stay for a very good price...I thought. Everything was fine until we got ready for bed and found the mattress was completely compressed in the middle. Seriously, the middle two foot strip had no support for the length of the bed. My wife and I tried sleeping on either side of the depression, but there wasn't enough mattress left to support us. Worst nights sleep imaginable!

I could tell a lot of renovations had taken place, which I greatly appreciated because it's generally an older building. Everything felt safe, clean, and functional. Will be staying here again in the future.

The property is in pretty poor shape. Our room’s cabinet under the sink had its doors falling off, the room had items removed from the walls over the years without being repainted, and the walls hadn’t been painted in years! The floors weren’t particularly clean, but the sink, tub, and bed was clean.
