"Was it 100% dated? Yes. But I expected that from the reviews. But the room was absolutely spotless and the staff was wonderful! The room had electronic locks, a microwave, and a mini fridge, which was more than I was expecting. For an affordable stay in a town that is anything but - it was a great experience. Will definitely stay again. If you are looking for all the bells and whistles, this place isn't for you. If you are looking for a safe, clean, and affordable place to rest your head for the night - give them a shot. You won't be disappointed."
