The staff was courteous and helpful. However, the floor was dusty and needed mopping. There were 2 mice droppings between the beds. The washcloth and towels were washed but not white. A cigarette butt was lying in the windowsill, even though the sign on the door said, "No smoking."

The room smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. It was almost unbearable but since I was only staying for one night in dealt with it. The bed had stains on the sheets as if someone laid down in the sheets with their shoes on. The room was very inexpensive and you get what you pay for especially given the area.
