This hotel is good for the price but could use some TLC-especially with the breakfast. I could rather have a cold choice breakfast that is clean and safe than a hot breakfast that looks unsanitary or not edible.

Lots of work to be done.

Shower had lots of black mold on it. Temperature control on shower was non-existent. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Pieces of ceiling and wall flaking onto carpet. Locks on doors broken. Carpet was dirty and stained.
