You get what you pay for - nothing too fancy. The rooms are severely outdated, but things were clean. The blankets are thin. The breakfast is just various types of breads and cereals.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
No outlets near the bed. No usb ports anywhere in the room. TV was blocked by microwave and was very small. Door had gaps so you could hear everything so clearly outside from inside your room. Breakfast was advertised to have eggs/bacon/warm food, etc. None of that was available. Bed was slightly comfortable. It was an ok place to sleep.
