8.0 out of 10, Very good, (2 reviews)
"If you only need a place to sleep (literally) for a night , I recommend this place. Any thing more I can’t say. The bathroom was “clean” though the shower was sketchy. Air conditioner worked well. The mattress was super comfortable, but the pillows were huge and too hard. Staff was friendly and helpful. The door only has a door knob lock. Not a true door bolt. Maintenance for the hotel itself is in need. But for a clean bed, it’s a good place to stay."
