"Overall, the hotel was fine for what we paid. It’s definitely dated and a little worn in places, but our room was clean, the sheets were clean, and the AC worked well. The staff was also very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We didn’t have any major issues. If you’re looking for something modern or upscale, this probably isn’t it, but if you just need an inexpensive, clean place to stay with friendly service, it does the job."
