Old building, it looks much more run down than the pictures, and it has a slight "old" building smell. Someone tired to open my delivery van door when i was sitting in it doing paperwork, luckily it was locked. It's not in the best area, if you don't have to, i would recommend staying in a different town. Positives are it is fairly clean, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It is reasonably priced, and there are a good amount of places to eat and shop fairly close. Overall not a great place to stay.
