Good place for a family to stay

Nothing fancy, but the room was clean and beds comfortable, and front desk staff were friendly. The location is quiet and in walking distance of downtown. We stayed in a family suite. The TV in the second room wasn't able to show anything and the lamp in the corner of the main room wasn't working (same room and same issues as last time), but these were minor issues.

Air/heater didnt work, tv didnt work, paint was peeling, fixtures falling off the wall, and carpets stained. Property needs work. Was switched to an almost equally run-down room, but issues were not addressed (maintenance never showed up).
