This hotel is ok for a quick stopover. We could see daylight around the door so it is not very soundproof and combined with traffic it was noisy. Room was small…barely room for our luggage. Hotel is just alright.

Looks like nobody cleaned the room: dust and cobwebs on the ceiling and lamp. The faucet in the sink is barely holding up, and it's scary to use it because it seems like it will break with just one movement. The staff were friendly and helpful. And you will not find a hair dryer in the room or motel they don't have it.
