Bed was comfortable but everything could definitely use some fresh paint & TLC. Wouldn’t stay there again especially for the $$$ Staff were ok but definitely not what I would call friendly. There was no TP in the bathroom when we got there so we had to go up & ask for it. He brought it but with no apology.

Below average There wasn’t any cold water in the shower so water was scalding hot also when we turned the water on in the sink the water leaked under the toilet! we reported these issues and told they would be addressed but they were not!!!!!!! Bed was comfortable but room was in really bad shape! Front desk check person was super friendly but doesn’t make up for not being able to shower! I’m a budget traveler and I don’t mind an older hotel but this one is in serious need of repairs and a good cleaning! The location was pretty far from any stores or food when I asked the night person where we could get a bite to eat In the area he said he didn’t know!! It was pretty rough good thing we only booked for 2 nights and found another hotel for the rest of our trip
