They’ve tried their best to keep the place in order. However heating of the room needs consideration and please get irons into the rooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
So filthy I didn't even set my bag down. I immediately exited. Reeked of booze and stale cigarettes. Cigarette burns in the filthy, stained sheets, peeling paint, discolored ceiling tiles, small and dark. The Addams Family or the Munsters would have been right at home...because they are already dead. The place was a temple to the twin gods of Sepsis and Failure. Do NOT stay here, do NOT even ever go here. I was visiting my grandfather in the hospital and slept on the floor in is room, which was one million times cleaner, and safer.

the room was a perfect size. Had everything it needed. The only down fall is it has no AC unit and only a ceiling fan. The room would have been perfect if it had an ac unit. Unfortunately it was very hot and muggy and I had to buy an extra fan it didn’t help much but it was manageable. I wouldn’t stay here again just for that fact of the ac unit. But if it had one I would have definitely came back

Solo hace falta un espejo en el cuarto. No existen en la habitacion # 1. Desconozco en otras habitaciones. El heater es demasiado pequeño.

Surprisingly nice!

The outside of this property looks like a rundown ramshackle hotel from the 1940s. Rooms have doors with knobs and open with physical keys. However, up entering the room it was quite nice. The room was pretty small but the bed was comfortable, the sheets/blankets were not only clean but smelled nice. The toilet, floor (pergo), shower and sink were all new and nice. There was no AC but between the shade and a 1 foot wide tiny ceiling fan the room stayed cool. And im a hot sleeper. This was much much better than the 4.4 rating. Id give it 7.5.
