Pros +

  • The pool & proximity to everything in town.
  • Cheap
  • The manager and one of the two desk clerks we encountered interacted well with us.

Cons -

  • The parking has been horrible. 1 car per room and good luck finding alternate parking if they are full. You are supposed to park curbside and walk. The issue is the curb stays full.
  • Looked run down. Needed paint. Sheet had stains and the body soap dispenser was full of water and no soap.?
  • When we checked in on Thursday night, the hotel was unexpectedly empty, but the night desk clerk insisted there was only one room available. Then, the next day, we were told we had to move because of a painting project scheduled for early next morning.
