They need to close down and remodel or tear it down. It has bad ambience. Huge hotel that feels old and cevernous.The room was decent and safe. Ok for a place to stay if you find it is all you can afford.

Great place to stay

It was a great experience. It was not hard to find, the staff were very friendly and the room was clean and cozy. The breakfast wasn’t the best, the biscuits were rock hard. They are remodeling but that doesn’t take away much from the experience. Will definitely stay there again
