The guy at the front desk is rude. The room was dirty, the bathtub still had dirt and footprints. I got a non smoking room and it had a strong cigarette smell. The bed sheets are so old and have holes on them.

Easy road access with private parking. Outdated units but clean beds. Could use some remodeling. Found the sharp angles of the bed to be very dangerous for my chins and toddler. There were a few furniture pieces that were broken.
Sink
Outdated blow dryer
Mold in the ceiling
Rusted bathroom details
