Rooms described as outdated, musty, with uncomfortable/sinking beds, old fixtures, cold showers and other wear — room quality is below standard.
Amenities
6
Amenities are mixed: complimentary breakfast and small conveniences (soda machine, phone book) exist, but breakfast quality and some facility upkeep are criticized.
Value for Money
9.5
Price/value not explicitly discussed in most reviews; raised here to offset poorer cleanliness/room quality per balancing rules and supported by comments like low-cost extras (e.g., $1 soda) and repeat stays.

Breakfast repeatedly criticized as lacking variety and protein (only cereal/waffles, poor quality) — overall negative food & beverage sentiment.
Overall Experience
7.9
Mixed overall: several guests would stay again and praised staff, while others reported serious cleanliness and room issues; overall experience is middling but buoyed by positive service and location.

Pros:

This property is really run down and in need of renovations. The room smelled damp and musty. The beds are uncomfortable and sink down in the middle. The kids feet were dirty after walking barefoot on the carpet. There were a couple roaches on the bathroom floor. I do not recommend this hotel. The higher online ratings are deceiving. We lived through it, I’m still getting teased by my family for choosing it but hey, we learned!
