We walked out after seeing the room
The room was dirty and the beds were terrible and stained. Not even comfortable. Guy at the desk was nice and the AC worked ok but that’s all I can say. We just ended up leaving because we were grossed out.

Would not stay again.
The hotel is old and dilapidated. The bathroom had peeling paint on the walls. Mold was on the exhaust fan in the bathroom. It appeared as though there had been a leak from the room above. The bedroom section did look as though they are trying to make improvements.

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.
