Everything was way below expectations. Hotel manager didn’t have any tolerance for trivial requests. They’ll give a feeling you’re not welcomed at all. Never again at this old aging property that’s falling apart.

Old hotel that felt like a ghost town. Toilet got clogged with barely anything in it. Little to no amenities. Only stay here if there’s no other cheap options.

Not bad. Good value for economy travelers. I'm sure it was fabulous 40 years ago, now it's just a quiet, clean, but antiquated place to rest at night. Coffee and vending machines inside, dollar store and useful bus stop down the block.
