Only if you have to

This hotel needs huge upgrades. There was wet drywall behind the toilet that looked like it was molding, the ceiling tiles had stains, the baseboards were black and grimy, and I killed two cockroaches. On another note, the staff was very helpful, responsive, and pleasant.

When I first entered the room, I noticed a sheet covering the chair in the corner. I don't know why it was there, but I felt like the room hadn't been finished being cleaned. Not a big deal. Neither were the very stained towels.

The bathroom shower head could use replacing and the walls in there could use a cleaning with some cabinet replacements the beds were really uncomfortable no coffee pot or condiments the towels were stained and the bed cover had burn holes all through it. I think a little changes and this place would be the place to go if you like the piece and quite. Which I do. So I felt like I picked the right place to go. They just need a little TLC.

I asked for receipt but never got one. 2 small dark stains on sheets. Curtains were very wrinkled. I finally got shower water turned on. Shower Walls showed dirty when I touched with wet hands. I walked from shower to bed and my feet were black. No light in like a dressing room. Walls and furniture were old and needed repairs.

We were travelling with family and small kids. We had booked two rooms. They gave us one room in the first floor and another in the second floor. There were cockroaches everywhere in the first floor room. There were cigaretter burnt holes on the bedsheet too. The room in the second floor had strong foul smell.
