8/10 Good
"The room was clean and away from the elevators with no issues for the specific room. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is that there is no accommodation for customers / guests that need a nightstand on both sides of the bed. In our situation both customers have a CPAP machine. The reservation was for 2 guests and the room was a queen bed and upon arrival we had to decide who was going to sleep without their CPAP machine because the room has no bedside table or electrical outlets on the outer edge of the bed. Regardless of the medical need when will Hotels learn that both sides of the bed need a place to hold their CPAP or book or tea."

10/10 Excellent
"This is an older hotel that really hasn't kept up to today's expectations for the average hotel guest. But, for the price, I got exactly what I expected, that being a clean room, a place to bathe, a small kitchenette and a place to sleep. The staff was friendly & helpful. For those giving bad reviews for this place, I'd only remind them that this was by far, the cheapest place around. I only paid $64 per night, so I think I got a good deal."
