Hotel was clean enough. Bathroom very clean. Furniture in room needs some help. Chair was stained. Headboard missing a piece. For the price it is a fine hotel.

Average Stay
Hotel was nice, but a big run down. The tv/refrigerator cabinet was broken, paint was worn in several places. Hotel does not have an elevator, and bringing luggage to our 2nd floor room took may trips up and down stairs. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Breakfast was good, but ordinary. Bed and room were comfortable. Overall, just an average stay in a hotel that could use a little TLC.

You get what you pay for...
We were looking for a more affordable place to stay and this fit the budget. Photos on line looked ok. Upon arriving, in the evening, the receptionist was outside hanging with friends. Seemed odd, but she came in right away to greet us. When entering the room there was a "cologne" smell, probably from the cleaning solutions? We had a "window" to the pool - and we had no children. The curtain was stained or moldy at the bottom. Most likely from the air blowing & the pool? and the furniture looked like a dog had gnawed on it. With that being said, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was good, the space to get ready was spacious. Breakfast was okay, but we weren't really looking for that when we booked the stay. Most likely won't stay again. Hotel just felt run down.

4/10 Fair

Overall ok. There was a musty smell when you walked into the room. The air conditioner was loud and woke me every time it kicked on. There was also another guest that let their child run the hall and would holler - I know there’s nothing the hotel can do about that. Also, the mold in the corners of the shower was gross to see.

The host was service friendly! Attempts were made to modernize, but this evident that it was an older motel. It is a fair price in the city for its condition. The back safety door didn’t shut correctly so there was a safety concern all night.
