6/10 Good

Old and Outdated, Overpriced Average Breakfast

The units have heating problems in the winter. There is a heater but with no insulation and old windows, the cold air whips in and the heater can not keep up. Toilet seats are frigid even though their is another heater in the bathroom! Beds are extremely uncomfortable, mattresses need replacing. Breakfast was average, hot food was cold. Certainly not worth what they are charging for breakfast! Overall, the hotel is old and outdated, can not keep heat in the winter. Even though the price was on the cheaper side (not for breakfast though), I would not book this hotel again.
