The hotel was old and not updated. The fire alarm was straight wired with exposed wires. Leaks in the hallway plumbing. The manager was very good, She helped us with another hotel in the area for the next night.

Try somewhere else

Well, the bed was broken down. Two small flat pillows. No coffee. Microwave blows the breaker at 45 seconds. Broken missing lights in hallway and room. Large room with spartan furniture. Desk help wasn't sure where the room was in the building. Mostly rent by week or month clientele with six broken down cars in the parking lot...
