The construction was a pain. But overall it was decent for the 2 nights that we stayed. The room was huge. Definitely could use a bigger TV for the size room.

Not recommended for anyone with standards
Hotel was very dingy looking and overall felt like you were couch surfing somewhere. Bathroom had a dirty shower curtain hanging in it. Towels were old and starchy. Blankets were also old and beds were uncomfortable. We literally left in the middle of the night to go home because we were not comfortable sleeping there. Would not recommend unless it was absolutely necessary, and even then I would recommend just not going at all.
