This property was old and rundown. The walls had stains all over them. The AC didn’t work. Opened the windows, but the sound outside was extremely loud. Even with the windows closed, the sounds were still present though more muted. Parking cost an extra $30. Recommend using that money and springing for a better hotel just 1 mile down the road.
