This hotel looks new, the carpets are fresh and the paint is bright. Nice rooms, large bathroom with stone countertop, with lots of counter space. The breakfast was good, too--fried eggs, sausage links and home fries, with coffee and juice. It was everything that I needed at a great price.

TV did not work. Had to go down to front desk to get a new remote & then move the heavy tv stand to unplug, and plug Tv back in. Noise all night that staff did not control. Cold shower. Coffee and no coffee cups. For $75 a night I did not expect a stay at the Taj Mahal, but we did expect to get to sleep & take a warm shower. Manager/owner was very rude and not accommodating. Definitely had some language barriers when I tried to explain our situation.
