You can definitely tell they added a fresh coat of paint to walls, and tried to make updates. Its not a bad spot for the cost, i mean i won't lie, i thought for i paid i was going find a ran down completely outdated hotel with possible bed bugs! But to my surprise, checking has be digitalis, room was clean (although after a hot shower n the steam gets out into the room it brings out the smells of whatever the previous long stay guest cooked in the room), and the bed was comfortable! I did try to check in twice and there was no clerk, also upon checking out there was no one there as well. But overall for the price, and lack of a pool/hot tub and good breakfast, it was a good stay and when my funds are low again i would definitely stay here.
