Clean and comfortable. I happen to have a UV light on me as part of my pocket light.
Checked the room, beds, floor etc. Very clean.!
The "mexican" food place across the road was also pretty good. Unrelated to this hotel.

I have never had anyone speak to me the way I was spoken to at 1am when trying to check in. The room had been paid for and we were not allowed to check in.
