Overall, this hotel is average and affordable with no amenities. The included breakfast was worthless, the hot tub was under "being replastered," and the housekeeping didn't come until 5:00 pm. However, the room was clean and comfortable.

I arrived at 12:30 in the afternoon and as expected I was told that check-in was at 3. The clerk asked if I had gotten an email saying that I could check-in and I said no. She said once I get it I could check-in at that time. I left the hotel to find a place to wait. I received the email 30 minutes later that my room was ready but early check-in was an additional $10. Why didn't she check the room availability? I could have just waited in the lobby. She also never mentioned the early check-in cost.
