No complaints here.

For an old downtown hotel i was surprised that it was semi decent. Had some mexicans partying a few doors down but they weren't bothering anybody. Over all a really good place to stay for less than 60 bucks.

Absolutely no amenities. No coffee machine, not even in the lobby either, I don't believe. Still using the "Night Check in Window". it's a stuffy little add on off of the main lobby. All that being said room was clean and cheap and for this trip it was what I was looking for.

Prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Outside seems a bit sketchy and run down, but the room interiors were clean and recently updated. You can’t go wrong here, especially for the price. If you’re planning a night out in the downtown area, this is a great value and easily walkable to all the nightlife.
