Desk clerk had a bed made up on the couch for herself like a homeless person. Room was unmaintained. In bad need of an update. Bath tile was black mold in areas. Bath doir would stick, couldn't get open. Chair fabric was thread bare. Drapes wouldn't stay closed. Noise from interstate was loud. Won't bother staying here again.
