If you need to stay the night I'd recommend it for the price. However the room itself was worn - the tables, shower even the toilet, the quality of the TV was poor too its reminiscent of 2000s pre-HD cable. But the bed was clean and thats important. Though the bathroom could've used another pass - found some hair in the drain trap. Its a fine place for the night.
