The property is exactly as lackadaisically maintained as I expected for the price. The lock on the back door to the hotel was broken (i.e. unlocked) for my entire stay. The ice machine was not functional. The staff were not particularly well-trained; check-in took many minutes despite my having paid for the whole stay in advance. The fixtures were ancient. The wi-fi was actually surprisingly good, and the room was clean enough.

Room was fine, clean, shower was good. Heater was noisy. Internet was terrible- slow and crashed repeatedly.
