"It was okay for a quick night's sleep. The bed was comfortable enough. The a/c worked but it was still very warm in the room. The room was not so dirty, just well-used and patched back together. I would have expected to pay half the price that we did for that quality of room. Our TV did not work at first and they sent someone right up to fix it. The staff was very kind, but the room was lacking."
