"For a quick overnight stay, it was ok at best. Property definitely needs updated as carpeting, bed & bedding, dirty walls, old hotel smell, multiple bad caulk-over jobs in the tiny bathroom, hanging paint chips all need removed. For a smoke-free facility, it wasn't as someone next to my room was smoking. The only plus was the young lady that checked me in was very professional and pleasant. Didn't hang around for breakfast as we were headed to a funeral so can't comment on that."
