This is a very old property in desperate need of updating or demolishing! Rooms are in poor condition. It appears a band-aid was used for a few things such as new vinyl flooring. Everything is worn out, from the paint on the walls to the rusted lights on the end tables and the bathroom. We were in desperate need to find a room this weekend and literally this was the only hotel available and I believe I got the last room due to sporting events in the area. The staff was 100% from the people at the desk that couldn’t do enough for us to the kind house keeping staff. They were great!
