Dirty

The room was very dirty. The bedding was filthy and had to be changed, shower was grimy, and it was like the floor had never been swept. The service was fairly quick when new bedding was asked for.

The hotel and room were okay. Breakfast was not much and the room where guests were to eat was dark. There was a television in the dining area. How about turning it on to a news station?! In addition, the desk attendent was not very pleasant. My rating would be "fair."

Will not stay again

Room was unclean dead bug by bed stand on floor, hair on night stand and tub, the bed wows horribly uncomfortable. The a/c unit was so loud it would wake you up everytime it kicked on. And the nastiest thing was that the bed cover, which I guess is for looks only was dirty! Had obvious signs of being unwashed. Very disappointed especially for the price.

When we arrived to check in, the lobby door was locked. The owner showed up quickly, but it was still jarring to have to call for assistance—never had to do that before. Room was clean but towels and washcloths were dingy looking. Bed was very comfortable. Property looked somewhat rundown.

Fresh Rooms

I am traveling alone so greatly appreciated that my room number wasn't shouted across the lobby when presented with my room key. I was given an upstairs room without asking. The room was large enough to be comfortable. The fridge n microwave were appreciated. The room has been freshly upgraded with paint, flooring, furniture, mattresses and bedding. Everything looks and smells fresh.
