The room is sufficiently clean and maintained. It's not glamorous but it has everything needed. Most importantly, no bed bugs. Not much provided for breakfast but given the general price of the room, you can cross the street to McDonalds for breakfast. The managers are cordial, and the lady there in the evenings is nice.
