The property is fine, but a little run down. It did feel safe and was clean. The internet and TV leave something to be desired, but we were only there for the night so it wasn't too bad. Also, the breakfast is lacking, but it gets the job done if you are starving.

Staff was wonderful but the rooms are very dirty. Walls have food and greenies all over. Bathroom was in serious need of some TLC and paint. Hallways to upstairs and downstairs are in some very poor condition. Walls and doors need to be cleaned. 2nd floor ice machine had chew in it.
