Unpleasant stay! There is a musty smell all over the hotel, especially in the room we stayed. The room is in need of renovation ASAP. The "air conditioner' is an old appliance. There is a ceiling fan with lights but the only way to turn off the fan was by turning the switch off, which meant no light in the room other then the table lamp. One of the pulling switch from the ceiling fan was broken so no way to just turn the fan part off. The carpet looked filthy. They have an old couch outside our room and we had people out there chatting loudly after midnight!! It's just an old dirty hotel!! Wouldn't recommend especially for families.
Beds were okay.
Sofa outside our room which was occupied by noisy people after midnight

The first room I was given was dirty. The restroom was not cleaned and I was extremely upset. The second room the switched me to was not the best and the bed was super uncomfortable and every time you would move it would make a noise. When I was trying to find the first one I asked for help because I wouldn’t find it. The worker just told me to look again and couldn’t even help me look for it. Extremely disappointed and worst hotel I have stayed at. Would not recommend to friends or family.
