The room was fine. The linen was clean as was the bathroom. It's definitely a run down hotel but to just go to sleep for one night, it was ok.

Run-down, unkept, old facility. Attracts loud, rowdy guests who make noise in the hallway in the middle of the night. Papers thin walls.

You get what you pay for so I truly can’t complain. Only downsides were the room was a decent hike from the elevator and our room didn’t come with a blanket, the bed just had a sheet on it so we had to walk down to the lobby to request a blanket. I also requested extra towels on the first night of our stay and the woman at the desk told me they didn’t have any clean towels at all, which I found strange. Otherwise though, the room got the job done and we loved the location of the place. We were able to walk to everything and we also appreciated the brochures in the hotel lobby to assist us with planning excursions. All in all, I would say it’s definitely worth what you pay for!!
