Parking was easy. No amenities. Shower towels are small and poor quality. The heater in our room was not working and I was cold when I went to bed. The people running the place were nice enough. There was a homeless dude that was strung out on drugs hanging out in the parking lot.

This place is a hell hole. Actual blood on the walls. I’m pretty sure our room was a crime scene. We left immediately. Do not stay here.

Renovations were being completed so going to give grace. No mirror in the room but added when we asked for one. Not many plugs in the room to charge devices, we ended up having to unplug the tv and microwave so items could be charged. It was good for what you pay for. Due to the renovations the floors were pretty dirty so we ended up wearing shoes/at least socks the good majority. It was a place to sleep for the night.
