The hotel was clean, the front desk staff was ok, they did their job but weren’t overly friendly. The hotel needs some maintenance. The breakfast was good. The best thing about this hotel is the location.

Ok room for the price
A lot of things in the room were broken one of the TV's in the room had a broken screen and when I went to the front desk to tell them about it they just said yeah we know the only reason I rate it the way I did is because it was a decent price for the size of the room and it was clean and it is within walking distance to everything. With that being said though I will probably find another place to stay next time around

Worst Breakfast ever. There was nothing on day 1 saying the truck has not arrived. I heard the staff cursing the customers for spiling a little bit of food while serving. Overall, worse experience and dirty smell.

The property was definitely not as nice as the pictures made it seem. It’s still pretty dated. The room smelled like carpet cleaner really strong when we first arrived. We had to open the front and back door to air it out. The AC gave off a funky smell but it was tolerable and went away. When it got cold we turned on the heat and that stunk up the room really bad so we turned it off. Sink would back up with water. The curtains were dirty but who really cares about that? What I did care about was the pillows being stained with drool or sweat. Not sure what it was but some of the pillows were dirty and stained yellow. There was a blood stain on the blanket. Over all it looked like they would only come in and wash the top cover, replace the towels, and do surface level cleaning. If you stay here check all your pillows and sheets and ask for them to be replaced if need be. For the price it was nice but cleanliness is never something that should be sacrificed in the price.
