This is a perfectly adequate hotel at a good price and a safe area. Unfortunately the elevator stopped working on day 2 of our 3 day trip, but it’s only a 2 story hotel so not too bad. :)

First, the elevator was not working. The doors closed abruptly on my husband, in addition to shaking and uneasy. Second- the hotel is somewhat dark and dingy. Needs a good deep cleaning,and general things fixed. Wallpaper peeling on the walls of the hallways. Door in our bathroom was very hard to open and close. The whole place needs some TLC.

Towel from the last person was left hanging on the shower rod, TV didn’t work (staff did come up to fix it), shower handle literally fell off, in-room safe didn’t work, blow-dryer didn’t work, and on the last day, the elevator didn’t work. Staff was friendly and helpful.
