Decent value for price paid. Definitely an older property and the bedspread was stained. But otherwise, pretty good bang for your buck.

Shabby and needing updating but cheap. Missing chain on the second door lock (deadbolt works tho), tub porcelain needs to be refinished or replaced, bathroom doorknob falls off. Staff are very nice and doing their best in this somewhat limited place.

The overall stay was unsatisfactory. The person that reception was rude and unhelpful. Secondly, the handle to the bathroom door was broken and several times either I or my husband got stuck in the bathroom and could not get out.

Had to move to another room because the air conditioner outlet turned black with smoke. Second room did not have working smoke detector, hanging from the ceiling. Staff was rude. Complained I used too many disposable plastic cups.
