The property was exactly what I needed. It was a couch in a friends house that I did not have in the area. The bathroom had a big leak on the ceiling and was moldy. Other than that, hard to be beat for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is very convenient to the area, and the room was clean and comfortable. The building is aged and could use some updates. The door to my room was very difficult to open and close near the frame. Not sure why, but it's like the door dragged on the floor in that spot. WiFi was not working, and my cell signal was spotty. I brought my own pillow after reading other reviews, and am glad I did. Overall it was a good place to stay for a last minute change in plans.

Updating in progress?

Great for the price. Room was partially updated (painted walls). Seems like it may be new owner, slowly updating. Room was clean, new bedding, new towels (but never washed, so dye came out of towels). Room for improvement, but was satisfied.
