Saw the cheap price - could have been a special deal, or could have been 'you get what you pay for'. Unfortunately it was #2. None of the photos showed me what I was getting - maybe they have nicer rooms. Hotel is very old and tired. Hardly any parking. Beds were uncomfortable and well past it. A/C on max was struggling to keep room just barable. On the plus side, the room was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. It is priced correctly - just the photos are misleading.

Looks nothing like pictures online. Our room was dirty with thick layer of dust on everything. The black mold on the ceilings and in the ac set off our allergies and asthma. No cutlery, plates, bowls etc. “Deluxe” rooms similar to a cheap hostel. Would not recommend.
