At the price this place charges, you get why you get. I stayed 3 nights. Switched rooms after the first night bc the faucet in the shower was broke. The hotel is old. If you’re looking for Nice and updated this isn’t your place. Just being honest. But if you want comfortable place to lay your head for a cheap price this is the spot. I slept great. Breakfast was hot. Typical hotel breakfast but no waffle maker. Again. Look at the price.There is breakfast and no bugs. The lady that works late night is also super cool.

No ice machine. Had to get the person at the front desk to get it from the kitchen. Hallway was very cold. Other than that it was good.
