Hotel is old, not maintained well, first floor room had wet carpet and flooding was occurring in room across the hall. Horrible mold smell all throughout first floor. We asked and received a 2d floor room that only smelled of stale cigarette s, rather than both mold and cigarettes. Over all, the place is a s-ithole!

The stay was okay. The toilet seat was broke and the water in the toilet was running. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. I just think the hotel can use some upgrades. Also, there is no elevator.

There are better choices nearby.

Got in kind of late. The front counter person was nice enough. I was given a room at the farthest spot from the front desk. I walked there with my bags in hand and when I got there the room had not been cleaned from the previous guest. I walked all the way back and was given a new room, right next to the last room. I walked all the way back, with my bags to the farthest spot from the front desk. That room was not cleaned either, and it was worse, looked like someone was partying in there. I go back to the front desk and finally get a clean room. The next morning I found out that the hot water was only lukewarm. Then the toilet backed up. I have stayed in worse hotels, but I don’t think I will be back to this one.
