This place is certainly not new and not fancy. But what it lacks in "shininess" it makes up for in the quality of the beds, pillows and blankets. I have stayed at much fancier hotels with terrible pillows and blankets as thick as toilet paper. This was some of the best sleep I've ever had! The AC/heating unit came on and off without waking us. We could barely hear any other guests. No one was running through the halls. And the space! My daughter and I stayed here for a basketball tourney. She had her own room. We had a kitchen to make sandwiches and breakfast in. Again, you might walk into this shabby, out-dated lobby and think "oh no, what is this going to be like?" But it was a lovely stay!
