Would have been nice to have wooden floor shown in the picture. Instead of thr stained slightly musty carpet. It was freshly painted, the furniture was relatively new and it was clean. So, it appeared someone was trying. But the wifi was also very bad, only coffee and only in the morning and what bothered me the most, what is advertised as a patio is a fenced off storage area when I opened the window. So, that was pretty deceiving. It's also a run down area. Not terrible I guess if your on the road and just need a place to crash for the night. It's okay. Clean and fairly comfortable.

Old and outdated. Only the minimum amount of upkeep. Had cable, yet the bare minimum of the channels were enabled. A/C worked but if you change a setting it would stop.
