Nice location and overall budget friendly.
Pros:

Hotel in quiet area

Cons:

A/C unplugged and so was TV. The food from previous guest was left in refrigerator. No smoke detector in room. Additionally the wall by AC looked very discolored. The Cinnamon rolls were less than average and almost flavorless. The plastic silverware they provided was super flimsy.
