Be wary of excellent customer ratings
By far, my worst checkin experience ever. 45 minutes to get a room . I had a reservation. Room door locking mechanism appears to be installed upside down. Otherwise, room was nice. Very comfortable bed. Room very clean. Could not get the coffeemaker to work.

Modest, clean rooms.
The room was clean and nice. Updated not that long ago.
The buildings were in need of repair and paint. The sidewalk was dirty.
The staff was great, very polite, help. For the price we paid, we are not complaining.
