Sub standard...
Lowest priced hotel for a reason... very old, not updated. Extensive shower mold. Bathroom cabinet and shower door falling appart. The toilet struggled to fill up and flush was inefficient to say the least. TV issues with missing audio or signal not strong enough to broadcast. Stayed there 4 nights to be close to family. Only if you need a "cheap" place to sleep and can endure to the above... The area is in dyer need of decent hotel. Difficult for me to leave a one star... but appropriate.

Clean rooms, it served the purpose for one night.
I got two rooms.The service was very good and the price too. The rooms were clean and neat, however in one of the rooms, one electrical lamp on the wall wasn't working and a desk lamp was very hard to push the button to turn on/off. The bedcover on one of the rooms had like a coffee spill (?; I didn't say anything) and on the other room there was a wet spot about 4" in diameter on the bedsheet that I noticed when a water droplet fell on my arm - it seemed like a leak from the ceiling but it didn't continue through the night. We left the single person stay here, he slept on the dry side. We told the front desk before going to sleep. They did not offer to change rooms.
