Really really gross

Might be the filthiest room I've ever stayed in at any hotel. The cobwebs on the ceiling were an unexpected touch, I've never seen that before.

The dirtiest place I've ever stayed at. The sheets and pillows all had stains. The towels look like they had been washed but smelled bad. The walls had stains all over the place. There was a couple pieces of the wood from the flooring that were missing. The table and chair were sticky and had not been wiped down. The floor was absolutely filthy. The ice bucket still had liquid inside of it. The bathroom window did not have a lock on it and this room was on the first floor, not safe at all. The bathroom shower head and walls and bathtub all had stains. It was a smoking room That smelled bad but the odor was not from cigarettes, It was just a general old odors from the bed and sheets and everything else in the room that does not get cleaned. Don't plan on putting anything you actually want to eat in the refrigerator or using the microwave either.

Room wasnt cleaned prior to checking in to the room. Floods were dirty, bathroom dirty. Ice bucket had stuff stuck to the inside. Floor planks in front of beds were caving in, window in bathroom leaked. Overall you get what you pay for.
