Marlboro Man

This hotel is run down. We had a second floor room, but included heavy cigarette smoke smell. There was also a hotel cigarette butt ashtray right outside our door. We came up for MSU Parent's weekend and booked the room back in May. All of the hotels in town we're sold out... so no other option.

Smells unpleasantly, I can’t say smells dirty, just uncomfortable. The room is one very small piece, oldest ever been, it should be called motel so we don’t reserve if we are expecting an hotel.
