Everything was fine. Nothing fancy. You get what you pay for. This hotel was on the lower end of the price range, which is reflected in the room view, service, and other aspects. If you're looking for something acceptable, this place is suitable.

Inexpensive, older building. Tolerable, but needs some cleaning and improvement. Water damage around shower, peeling paint around heat register, broken jalosy window panes on most rooms, issue with key lock, a bit grungy all around.
