Disliked: Amenities
We arrived just before midnight and felt safe checking in using the outside window. The room was clean, but definitely at the cheaper end of the spectrum of hotel rooms. This is normally fine but, we did not sleep at all due to the paper thin walls and the loud couple next door. Their tv was loud all night and they literally had sex all night, went at it about every 30 min, and smoked a joint after each "event". And we were on the non smoking side of the building. Finally left at 6 am after maybe a total 2 hours of sleep. And, yes, they had just "finished" again. We realized this couple were likely on other drugs too. The manager was sympathetic but his manerism implied that this type of patron was not uncommon.

Mary

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The refrigerator was awesome, for an in-room frig. There actually was a separate freezer compartment and freezer door above the frig, and the freezer actually kept our freezer blocks frozen. The water pressure was good. Otherwise, the facility was adequate, not luxurious. Attention should be given to the slick and slippery floor of the bath tub (for the sake of safety), and the black mold on the ceiling above the shower head, which suggests a plumbing leak from the second floor.
