The heat provided for my room is from a freestanding space heater, not from an HVAC system. If it was really cold I don’t think it would be warm enough. The AC is freestanding also with a big flexible duct going through the window to outside. Furniture is very old and worn. Curtains are faded. Property should be renovated. I was shocked at how bad this is for the cost. The front desk guy was very nice though.

So I booked for two days due to the necessity for work and my Internet going out. However, great the front desk staff was in accommodating me an early check-in. I did let them know the situation and they put me in a room with absolutely no outlets to utilize the laptop or my medical job that was needed. I ended up only staying four hours.

The property of undergoing renovations but that wasn't the problem. The other guests were very loud and a bit unsavory. The evening check in staff were gruff and unfriendly. Wasn't in the greatest section of town. No restaurants close by. Most likely won't stay there again.
