The location was spot on. We were here to visit our family. Loved the area businesses being close by.the room was clean and comfy. Nothing fancy, but it was fine for us. We really only slept got ready for the day and out the rest of the day.

The hallways have a strong odor of old carpet. The hallway walls and doors show a lot of wear. The room floor is slightly slipper.

For the cheap room, I expected it to be a dump. Actually looked and smelled pretty clean. Room was clean. Check in was simple.

Room didn't have soap of any kind for washing hands. Only hair and lotion.
