Reasonable Visit, Some Issues Existed

friendly staff excellent service dirty room cheap price

The staff acted friendly. They also gave excellent customer service if you needed anything. Rooms remained clean, and they provided plenty of pillows. I found a fan too because I chose the hottest weekend for my stay.

The hotel wasnt the cleanest at all. But you get what you pay for in that case. The room was perfectly fine for one night, but if youre planning to take a shower there, I would definitely avoid it. It suited me for just a place for sleep for a cheap night.
