In a word, outdated. While it was quiet, the place hasn’t seen any upgrades since the 80’s. It’s so outdated it seems sketchy at best. The one staff I dealt with was nice, check in was simple. Room seemed clean, but it was hard to tell because again, it’s so outdated. Probably won’t stay here again.

Room was stained everywhere. Walls, ceiling, floor were dirty and damaged. We stayed in the room long enough to find another place to stay. Checked in at 3 pm and returned card at 4 pm then left. It looked like a homeless shelter.
