It was very outdated and grungy feeling. Dirty microwave, hair and dust on the floor trim, very worn towels and sticky carpet. One desk guy was none too welcoming, the other was very friendly. It was inexpensive in comparison to other hotels in the area but as they say, “you get what you pay for “!
