The staff is very polite and helped whenever needed. The room was clean, but old there was a comfortable stay.
Cons:

I didn’t like that. It didn’t have an elevator due to having a individual who has a hard time walking up and down the stairs. It was fair and cleanliness, but not the cleanest one I’ve ever been to.

Pros:

Absolutely nothing!

Cons:

It was dirty and outdated, especially for what they charged! The front desk staff was rude. I cancelled my reservation after looking around and mostly because the staff person took a photocopy of my credit card! No one has EVER done this and it made me very suspicious. And they still charged me $271 for the room I didn’t even stay in! The manager refused to give me a refund. I would NOT recommend this hotel!
