Clean room and bedding. But the tub drain backed up and the hot water took a while to warm up to shower in, would have to run the water and let the tub run down. Then take a fast shower so I wasn't standing in a puddle from the days job.

The actual toilet was so close to the sink that it was impossible to sit comfortably; had to remove the toilet paper roll to lift the seat. There was no breakfast, no milk for cereal or coffee. Ringing the bell resulted in nothing - no one.

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. I travel often, and I was shocked by the condition of this property. The parking lot was poorly lit and felt unsafe, with people lingering around vehicles late at night. The overall atmosphere was uncomfortable from the moment I arrived. The room appeared unclean and inadequately serviced, as if it had not been properly prepared between guests. The lack of cleanliness was unacceptable and made the stay extremely unpleasant. Between the poor maintenance, cleanliness concerns, and lack of professionalism, I cannot recommend staying here.
