Was decent for the price. Bed linen needs to be replaced or washed or changed more frequently if not used regularly. Took limen off of both beds in the room to complete 1 “clean” bed that I was comfortable to sleep on. Otherwise - decent and convenient for the price.

I like supporting small businesses, but not if it’s going to jeopardize my comfort. When I book a room, the first thing I want is a GOOD bed, basically that’s what I rent a room for! The bed was extremely hard and those springs! The room also did not smell or feel clean. There were stains on the sheets. There were so many flies.
