Hotel and room were very clean. Breakfast was all packaged, nothing fresh. No coffee cups at 6:30am. Carpet worn and stained throughout hallways and rooms. Room had worn/damaged furniture. Felt very much like a place that people live in for extended stays.
Just a depiction of wear and tear. Instead of replacement door, this was the solution 😂

This hotel is in serious need of updating. The furniture was old and scratched. The safe door wouldn't close and we kept running into it. The bathroom knobs and shower didn't look clean. When we arrived one of the beds was covered in head and what looked to be pubic hair. I would not never CHOOSE to stay here. It would be a very last resort!
