Pros (+) Staff was friendly. Close to grocery store and easy to get to shopping. Room except for bed seemed clean.
Cons (-) Bed spread, blanket and pillow were very old. Blanket was very worn. Bedspread had stains. All four pillows were hard to sleep on because they were old and lumpy. Train went by in the middle of the night every night and blew the horn and shook the building.
