This is the most inexpensive hotel in the area. The room was clean, as was the pool. But the place in general is run down, walls are thin, and the room had a musty odor to it that made it hard to fall asleep.

It’s a good location, but had lots of construction guys there who took all the lower floors and parking. Beds could be bigger. All that I would stay again
