    The rooms are in poor condition and very small. The shower was like standing in front of a fire hose. there were cigereete butts on the ground, steps and in the hallwaystowels are worn so thin you can see though them. The TV remote had no battery door so the batteries kept falling out. I would NOT reccomend this place to my worst enemy!

    Typical of one of those hotels--unfortunately too many these days--in which all that interests the host is getting his/her money. No effort or money put into improvement. Despite advertisement, no continental breakfast. No shampoo, no cleanex, no hand towels, rock hard single pillow. Easy to break into by removing screen.
