The property is was pretty old looking. Looks like they haven’t updated anything. Walls have stains, holes in ceiling, and yellow toilet water… Wouldn’t recommend unless you need a cheap place for a one night stay. Other than that no.

The only reason I stayed was that the sheets and the mattresses seemed to be in good shape—good enough not to lose $150 and the pain to go to a new hotel. Otherwise, there was hot water but the room was kept in hideous shape.

The shower head is held together with electrical tape. The inside of the bathroom door looks like someone tried to house a tiger in the bathroom during their last stay. The bathroom door was almost impossible to open from inside the bathroom. The TV reception was poor and fuzzy. Finally, the room smelled like stale cigar smoke.
