The room wasn’t cleaned very well we believe there was still hair in the shower from the people before and some spots on the table. Other than that the property was great.

The front desk staff were very nice and very accommodating! The hotel was well priced and the fact that it had a little kitchenette in it, was perfect! The property is a little outdated, and grungy, but the towels and bedding were white and very clean!
