It's a pretty area and convenient location. However, the room we were in needs a deep cleaning and/or renovation(especially the bathroom). There was a quarter roll of toilet paper with no backups in the bathroom. Dirty black caulk around the base of the toilet No cups, no liner bag for the ice bucket, TV remote didn't work, burned out or missing lightbulbs. The staff was friendly. With some simple improvements it could be a nice place to stay in the future.

It's about what one would expect for a two star hotel. Most things were functional, although dated and in ill repair. No stopper in the sink and the water backed up immediately. The ice machine didn't work and looked like it hasn't for some years. A functional place to sleep.

Staff was never around at the front desk. Breakfast is supposed to open at 0630-0930 and at 0830 no one had set up breakfast yet and the front lobby door was locked. The rooms were clean and the A/C worked. The tub spout leaked continuously. Both of the shampoo and body soap dispensers were empty. I have stayed at worse hotels but it was inexpensive and the only ones available on the date I visited the area.

The AC had been off in the room and it took a long time for the room to get cool. Also I had to request a room change. I booked a non smoking room but the first room reeked of smoke. The check in guy was nice, but I would not stay here ever again.

The room stunk, there were dirty towels and curtains crumpled in a ball on the chair in our room, the shower controls didn't work correctly, and housekeeping opened the door while we were sleeping and said they thought the room was "out of order". Maybe it should have been.
