Several things bothered me. The south entrance had a hugh hole in the pavement. The snack machine did not work even though it was full. Drink machine would not take my coins. The bath tub was rusted in several spots. The shower's water would not stay a consistent temperature. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling off. The refrigerator in the room appeared to be working, but my drinks were hot the next day. Just a sad place to stay.

Front desk guys very professional/courteous/helpful. Seems to be a high traffic on right side with women getting in and out of cars and food containers scattered about on the ground. Being from the area originally and have stayed there for over 30 years, seems kinda sad this is tolerated.
