Disliked: Amenities
Price and location were good. Breakfast was good. They had nice hot water for shower. But there was no soap on the sink and not enough towels. They don’t make the bed and change the towels. The room smells like mildew.

Hotel used to be a Holiday Inn, which has a new property across the street. The building does show signs of its age. While the room was clean, the decor and carpet seemed to be original, maybe repainted. But the price was the best in the area, ideal for a quick break overnight. Breakfast was good.
