It did the job
Basic room with older finishes. Room was affordable place to stay and had some nice small outdoor areas. Worked for me as a solo traveler and was close to downtown. Did not have good ventilation and overall was in need of an upgrade, but it did the job and staff were very friendly.

Fine for the price point with a couple of exceptio
The place was fine, with a couple of exceptions: the door to the entrance to the room had clearly been broken open at some point as evidenced by the dent near the safety lock on the outside and the split casing on the inside as well as the TV remote not working. The woman at the front desk tried to help, but was the only one at the front desk and could come up to our room- we ended up unplugging the TV to turn it off. That said, it is a low price point and the staff was polite.
