Cons:

It's definitely an aging property that could use some serious upgrades, especially with the modern competition in the area. It needs significant maintenance and repairs to certain areas. Could be a great hotel. Just needs some investment.

Pros:

Bed was comfortable. The Location is central.

Cons:

No coffee pot in the room. There was a pile of soil or dirt in the one elevator the entire weekend, and the floors were really dirty. The elevator was very loud, in movement but also when opening or closing. The room was the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. Instead of facial tissues in a box, there was a travel pack on the counter. The hair dryer didn't work.

Room was clean. Was weird that TV was on when we checked in.
Pros:

The room was clean

Cons:

The elevator was kind of scary. The clerk could have been
More pleasant. Also not much is provided in room 3 towels is not enough. Also there needs to be signage at the road.
