While the gentleman on duty was extremely nice and welcoming, there was nothing else good about this place. In disrepair and questionable in all regards. The carpet was damp, the paint peeling, mold, and overall sketchy. If you can afford the extra 30 or 40 bucks, do yourself a favor and go with a known HOTEL chain. Lesson learned: I will never look for “a cheap place to crash” again.

Fine for the price

It's a very old hotel but economically priced and the front desk employee, maybe owner, was very friendly and quick. The bathroom definitely needs updating or a better clean. We chose not to shower due to looking like mold. It may have been a stain as the rest of the room was clean.
