Updates needed.

The windows in the room have mold around them and cracked with exposed sharp edges. The carpet looks like its never been cleaned. The lamp shades have visible stains, and the headboards look they are completely dirty yet. The pluming in the shower is coming loose, and had to handle with care. The pool area ceiling is falling down and onto the ground and into both the pool and the hottub. There are many areas in the pool area where the carpeted areas are water damaged with what looks like mold growing. People are nice, but the building needs major updates.

This property was run down and had leaks dripping into buckets all over the property. The door was unlocked and open to our room when we first checked in. The attached restaurant was boarded and had trash all over the parking lot. This was the worst hotel I have ever been to and we actually left town and didn’t even spend the night!
