Was a good place to stay sleep for the night as long as you don’t need the heater unit the fan was quite noisy. At least, in the room that we stayed in the other ones may be good.

Old but quality

This hotel is clearly very old and from outside appearances does seem to be kind of run down. Once you get to your room youll see this isnt the case. Rooms are very well maintained and clean. For 60 dollars a night I feel i got an amazing deal
