The outside of the hotel seemed fine, the location is fine. There is even a nice little fountain, and a picnic table near a grill available.
But that's as good as this hotel gets, at least as far as my room goes. We ended up in the smoking area, which he said I signed up for and maybe I did. It smelled like a smoking room for sure. But even worse, the room was in such bad shape I had developed a pretty solid theory that someone had had a fight in this room. The lamp shades were pretty destroyed, the headboard of the bed could not stand straight, and the nightstand drawers were missing. Very odd things that could've easily been fixed in a place that was kept well.
It had also looked like there had been some flooding from the bathroom, but that didn't bother me so much.
Otherwise, the room was like your normal low cost hotel. Things aren't kept up, but it is serviceable and the sheets were sort of clean. We stayed there for one night as just a place to stay before a triathlon. It's cheap, and "better than sleeping in a tent," we decided.
The hotel claims Internet service but the signal wasn't strong enough in the back to make anything useful out of it.
