Disliked: Room comfort
It was ok for the one night stay. Customer service is not what they worried about here. I'll just leave that there but the room was VERY out-dated. The bathroom was great! The bed and the single chair in the room from "1970" was weird. The chair didn't recline. Not being boogie but it looked and was old! I shouldn't have expected it to recline as the first one made! It had no cushion in the seat. I sat down and got up immediately as I thought I might fall through it. It had a cig burn on the left arm...why wouldnt that chair have been changed out? I took before and after pics as I always do. The metal "band" around/under the bed was new. You walk up like normal to put stuff on the bed and "bang"! Your toes are assaulted lol. Seriously! First hotel I've seen it. Quick layover- good. More than one night- no.

The place is clean but there was a couple next door doing god knows what until 2am music so loud and yet I could hear their noises over the music and they were crushing the bed against my bed wall. I placed a noise complaint but the hotel is not staffed overnight. I don’t think I’ll be staying here again. I definitively will ensure there’s 24h staff next place I stay at

The price was not right for the hotel room. We could hear noise from the road and they offered only 2 towels for the family of 3.
