"The staff was friendly and the room was clean. The cover over the duvet on the bed was clean but had old stains on it. The tub faucet dripped, the toilet seat was loose, the windows were foggy from failed window seals. It’s just an older property that needs maintenance."
"We were unable to find the opening to the building, walked all around there were two doors and stated that they were not to be opened. I fell tripping over the uneven sidewalk. I would have given this one star except I went next door to Best Western Hotel and found out they were the owners. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone."
