All was improved since our last stay. The only really bad thing was a sewer smell in our room. The low cost was the reason we stayed as we were just passing through.

The amenities are not great but they are good especially for a more economically friendly hotel. The beds were comfortable. They were in the process of updating rooms.

Overall it wasn't a bad hotel for the money. The front desk could have looked a little more professional. The ice machine was broken, and the bed was hard. The room looks like it was redone and did look nice. The bathroom wasn't fully rehabbed yet and had some dirty, rusty vents. The breakfast was a standard continental with waffle maker which was good. Some of the guests were a bit strange....not wearing any shoes to breakfast, etc. For the money, I can't complain too much. It's rare to find a hotel under $60 for two people.
