Better than I expected. Older and definitely not fancy, but comfortable. I felt safe staying there alone. They were nice. It was clean.

Mold in bathroom. Cob webs in room and all over outside of building. Yelling and fighting a few doors down. Complimentary breakfast was a joke. Was not worth $100 a nite!

Exterior was unkept, trash at entrance walkway. Noisy, because of pets (dogs) barking and attacking other pets. ( Owner of pet appeared to not have pet under control). Guest knocked on door twice around 2-3 am. However, front desk service was very nice.

Older style hotel with actual key locks. The floor was filthy so no bare feet. Everything else was great.
