My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were remodeled and equipped with microwaves and refrigerators, which was convenient. However, the room temperature seemed too cold, and the room was dirty, dated, with a malfunctioning TV and AC.

The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though very dated with old furnishings and stained items, were surprisingly spacious, quiet, and well-equipped. The proximity to the exit door was convenient. On the downside, the retrofitted rubber flooring felt odd, and the overall decor needed a refresh. The staff were attentive and hardworking, despite some areas needing improvement. The location was convenient with easy access, but the cleanliness was not up to par. The dining experience was mediocre with standard low-budget hotel options. The facilities were adequate but lacked attention to detail.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel overall. The rooms were well-equipped with a microwave, fridge, flat-screen TV, ironing board, iron, blow dryer, and coffee maker, which I found convenient. However, there was noticeable water damage on the wall and ceiling in the room, and the bathroom's ceiling. The configuration seemed off. Despite that, I really enjoyed my stay, and I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

The hotel had a retro feel to it, and the night personnel seemed unfamiliar with customer relations. The rooms had a strong chlorine smell and showed signs of water damage, poor repairs, and dirt. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and accommodating, offering an AARP discount and being cheerful even in the early hours of the morning. The location, however, felt cramped for the number of guests and needed maintenance. The dining options showed potential but were not well executed. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives for this stay.
