Place was old but clean. Front desk staff was nice. A little hard to understand. Air conditioner in room was obnoxious! Sounded like a person with a pressure washer was at our einfuu in w every two to 5 minutes. I actually looked out the window. A little hard to sleep. Did like the extra room for a pull out for older don but there was no air in that room only a fan. Fine for March but summer would be brutal.

Older hotel for cheap

Older hotel, and room is in need of updates. Good price/value, but manage your expectations. The hairdryer didn't work well, and we saw a few bugs in the room. It's actually a motel style
