it's been a long time since we've stayed in a hotel that did not have carpeting. It was cold on the feet. There was also mildew stains on the sheets. But the room was very attractive. Would i stay there again? probably not, there are alot of other choices in the same price range.

We booked this room last minute and it was wonderful! The room was recently redone and very close to the friends we were visiting. It was clean and a great value for what we got. I would definitely recommend this hotel for an overnight stay!

Horrible and seedy. Would never stay here again. Room smelled. Many long term guests living there. I did not feel safe here. Would have left but after driving all day and was travelling with my dog so no other option.
