I felt the room was clean and spacious, only problem was a 6am domestic abuse/fight in the hallway. Was very concerned but front desk sent help. The hotel is older but kept fairly well. Not kid friendly though just feel a lot of get togethers happening there on weekends anyway, lol. But for a date night out low cost it’s not bad!! The heart shaped jetted tub nick. Just clean it first!!
