Got the the hotel at 11:30. Told it was just remodel. It was definitely once an old hotel that had been painted over. Shower was nice with body gland shampoo. Bar soap and lotion at the sink outside the shower toilet room. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Wall Lamps on sides of bed didn’t work and the glass shower door was too small for the shower so water was on the bathroom floor when done. Otherwise the towels were clean and soft. Overall positives: towels, bedding and bed were 5 of 5. New carpet and blackout window coverings clean. Rough Paint job on door frames and doors. Breakfast was carbs overall. Some bananas and apples. Yogurt. Otherwise, carbs galore. Would stay again for the price and pets being welcome for a small fee.
