This hotel is worn out! The room was smelly and it wasn't very clean.

Comfortable bed, really close to restaurants and city attractions.
No door, did not know it was handicap room.

For a quick weekend getaway it's a decent price and a good place to sleep.

The continental breakfast was good.
There was trash on the floor, hair on the sheets, and they ran out of extra pillows!

It was OK if you just need a quick place to stay but I wouldn't stay there again as long as I did. It smelled funny, was dirty, refrigerator and microwave did not work which was a major inconvenience, there was hair on the sheets, and the front desk ran out of pillows!

We checked out after one night. Manager genuinely wanted to know why. She seemed to care. Nothing could fix the dump.
The entire place. Simply a bad choice.

This would be a perfect place is dismal. Rooms are built like bunkers with one tiny window 24" wide. Pillows 1" thick. Beds bad. Toilets old. Place stank. Sorry.

New carpet. Plenty of space.
It was raining, you couldn't get to the continental breakfast without getting wet. Towels were economy along with other paper products. Shower was slippery.

This hotel is one star. It was raining, you couldn't get to the continental breakfast without getting wet. Towels were economy along with other paper products. Shower was slippery and dangerous. No handles for safety. It was inexpensive and we didn't stay there except to sleep. So we were ok with the flimsy towels, etc.

Breakfest.
Very dirty, no towels, trash under bed.

Would not recommend to anyone. Housekeeping needs to learn how to clean. Trash under bed, hair in bathroom.
