Older hotel but wow! Updated, clean and great value! New door locks, new a/c, carpet replaced with solid surface floors, new drapes all contribute to not having the smells of older, stale smoke filled hotels. At prices per room, probably best value in the area. Very impressed and satisfied.

The property looks old. But rooms were very clean and spacious. Beds were clean and comfy and theres were lots of channel options. The only complaint we had was our room keys were deactivated before the 11am check out time.
