Hotel is very dated and extremely dirty. Even the windows haven’t been cleaned in ages. Carpets haven’t been vacuumed in I’m Not sure how long. Looks like they have started to renovate but the hotel needs a major cleaning before they do anything. We thought about switching hotels but more a a pain since we are only here for one night and leaving early. Staff was great checking in. Area is a bit sketchy and weird.
