Horrible Room Conditions

Rug in room was filthy and there was dust accumulated in the corners. As soon as I got in the bed, the sheets came off. The ceiling plaster was coming down in a spot near the bathroom. There was no slip proof material in the tub. This was the most disgusting room I have stayed in.

Terrible hotel

When checking into the hotel the free breakfast wasn't offered but for one day of stay. We was put into the back of the hotel, told it wasn't any king size beds left. It was hardly any one else there staying, the ones that was there stayed there as permanant resident of the hotel. The door would not open, and maintance had to be called. After talking w/ another person at the hotel they stated the same thing happened to their door. Once I entered into the room, there was numerous things broken. The bath faucet was dripping, and was poorly fixed and didn't look clean etc. Not to include the run down furniture, torn up blankets, stained chairs, or no socket covers and holes in the whole. But the worse thing was a mouse was in the room. This was the worse hotel I have seen, granted it's not high dollar but at least it could be kept up w/ and you could at least be rodent free and have doors that operate correctly and sucure.

Eh!

Was just there for one night. The conditions of the bathroom was not all that...the towels were soiled prior to our use. I was not too fond of the hotel itself as it smelled moldly and just looked deplorable. The free breakdfast was served in a restaurant next door and the conditions of that restaurant was not great! Did not like breakfast, as it was pretty limited and did not like the conditions of the restaurant to begin with. Only the location was ideal...all else was not up to par.

The Worst Hotel Ever!

This hotel was the worst I have ever stayed in.The room was very dirty,the sheets were dirty,the carpet was so disgusting, the lamp was falling off the wall,the metal clothes rack, that belongs in the closet was in the bathroom, on the floor.The lock on the entry door was falling off,It was a joining room, but we had no lock on our side, we had to put something in front of our door,to prevent the people in the next room from entering our room..I felt very unsafe!I would never stay at this hotel again,we paid 50 plus tax, the room we got,wasn't worth 10..We would have gone to another hotel, but we booked this hotel two weeks in advance,and had already been charged for the room.We were there for the race,and could not afford to go somewhere else.

Great Value.

Perfect spot for our dog and the staff was very friendly . They were very helpful, but the pillows were terrible. The Hotel operator needs to step up to the plate and get real Hotel Quality Pillows.

Unacceptable

We booked a smoking room with 2 double beds. We were not notified that the hotel had gone non-smoking. We were asked to change to one king size bed. We could not park near the hotel room. There was construction going on. There were no hangars, floor had trash on it,one light did not work,drapes were coming off the rod, ice machine not working, TV remote did not work, no clock, no shower cap, frayed bath towels and paper thin hand towels. A very unsatisfactory experience.
