We stayed over for one night here. The room was clean. The hotel is clearly older and could be updated but I can’t complain for the cheap price I paid. It was a good place to stay overnight. Breakfast wasn’t that great but again it was worth what we paid.

The heating unit in the room was very loud.... Like a truck was running in the room kind of loud. It was windy outside and the wind was blowing through the window seal like it would in a 100 year old house. Very disappoining!

Don't plan on eating continental breakfast. Spent rhree nights and by 7am hot foods were empty. What was left not appealing. Rooms needed updating and marginally clean. Would not recommend unless on a budget. .
