I stay here when I visit my mom. She is elderly, and lives up the road. For my purposes, this hotel is fine. The bed is comfortable, and the bathroom is clean. There is free internet. If that's all you need, then this place will be perfect for you.
However, this would make a very sad vacation destination. The decor is quite tired/ dreary, and the dressers in each room seem to have problems. Every time I've stayed here, either the drawers are broken or stuck (we're now 0 for three on the dresser drawers). Not crucial, but the hotel info folder needs updating. The TV has limited channels. And the breakfast is... well, you need a sense of humor to face breakfast, otherwise, you're not going to make it through.
The juice dispenser has a choice of three juices. Don't choose the orange juice, as it is brownish and slightly transparent (like it was mixed with the apple). All three juices taste canned and very sweet. The coffee is kind of stale, and you can only lighten it using non-dairy powdered creamer. The waffle maker usually has a burned, crumpled waffle stuck in it. Pastries are a little old (never fresh). I usually play it safe with microwaved oatmeal.
But, due to convenience, overall friendly/ helpful staff, and a comfortable bed, I will continue to stay here. Just don't arrive with too many expectations.
