7/10 Good! (308 reviews)

The hotel served the purpose. I needed some where inexpensive to sleep for a bit. It's under new management. I hope they use the pet deposit to fix the trashed bathroom moulding and doors from a dog staying there. The toilet and shower were clean. The faucet was loose but still worked. The bed was clean and comfortable. The heat system was a bit odd. But for the price it provided a clean place to sleep. So Ok, all in all.
