"This hotel was fine for our two-night stay, but it's definitely dated. You can tell the place hasn't been updated in quite a while, and it shows throughout the room. The bathroom had some mold, which was disappointing to see. The photos online make it look nicer than it really is, so go in with lowered expectations. For a quick stay it was manageable, but for the price we paid, it just wasn't worth it. With some updates, this place could be a much better value. As it stands, I'd look at other options before booking here again."
