As cheap hotels go, it was solid. Got a room for the college world series. Beds were comfy, shower was hot, room was clean. My only complaint is that the rooms were very very hot even with the AC on full blast the whole time.

Property is in poor condition! The first room we were put in the air conditioner blew out hot air and the shelf was falling off the wall. We ere moved and that was better.
