This property had the bare minimum of standards. It was old, dingy and the safety lock on the door was broken. The only thing that felt clean was the sheets.

While it's true that this property is old school and dated, with door keys and paper check in, our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and everything was in good working condition. I would stay again if I need a decently priced, dog friendly place to stay in this city.

Had a good 8.2 rating that's why we stayed there. Guy at front desk was friendly and kind but as soon as we started using the stairs we should have turned back. Very dirty. Siding hasn't been cleaned in years and outside rugs and nearly most everything else is is need of being replaced.
