Better Than Expected
Better than I expected. Older and definitely not fancy, but comfortable. I felt safe staying there alone. They were nice. It was clean.

Exterior was unkept, trash at entrance walkway. Noisy, because of pets (dogs) barking and attacking other pets. ( Owner of pet appeared to not have pet under control). Guest knocked on door twice around 2-3 am. However, front desk service was very nice.

Older style hotel with actual key locks. The floor was filthy so no bare feet. Everything else was great.
