The picture in the listing does not match the room, which is run down and dingy with warped doors that don't fully close and flies buzzing around.

The price was good, but the room was much to be desired. The carpet was not clean, feet got dirty just walking on carpet. Towels seemed not so clean, right off the rack. AC was hard to set, all instructions were smudged off. It was convenient to local businesses. And just a couple of loud nights from other guests. We probably would not stay again.

We canceled our reservations at the hotel after seeing the conditions, as 3 individuals in the group would not even stay there after seeing the rooms. The whole hotel needs a major renovation. The staff that helped me there was very helpful and courteous.
