Hotel rooms are outdated, AC didn’t work room was hot. Bathroom is outdated, the toilet wasn’t running off and on. The only good thing about this hotel is the bar area the bartender was very friendly. I have stayed at this hotel many times and the only change that has been made is the Name of the Hotel and the hotel sign on the building.
