Old tired motel from decades ago; while there were superficial attempts to refresh the place, they were poorly done; the exterior needs more expert upkeep. Inside the room, very strong chemical odour (recently painted??), really bad wallpaper job, cheap vinyl flooring peeling and chipped, bathroom faucets reversed, shower temperature control goes from scalding to cold without warning, table lamps keep flickering because of defective extension cord (or possible short in the outlet), a portable heater/rad unit caked in dirt and gets so hot it could easily burn someone. Some odd long-term residents from the looks of some people I saw. Expensive considering these problems.
