I wasn't expecting a cream of the crop hotel, but cleanliness and safety would have been nice! We were on the second floor and when we opened the window the wasn't even a screen. After that, we went to plug in our charger and found a old, used (we say moldy & we do have a picture of it - they say just empty) applesauce container by the bed. We would have let that good - a not even complained, but I woke in the middle of the night and stepped on a 1-inch piece of broken plastic on the floor...even a half-hearted vacuum job would have picked that up. The last straw was the next morning. My daughter was straightening the bed and found women's jewelry IN the BEDDING! It wasn't her jewelry, which make us feel like the linens were NOT changed. Management stated it could just belong to one of their staff, but with all the other filth...I doubt it!

Only if you are desperate

The hotel is outdated and filthy. Holes in the walls and doors. Stains all over the carpet in the lobby, stairway and hallways. Fruit flies in the breakfast area. All bread products were individually wrapped, and when I walked past the front desk, there was a man with no gloves individually, wrapping each piece. The room smelled musty, and the tub and toilet was stained.

The property is somewhat older on the interior than the external building would suggest. My room would have been acceptable, were it not for the off-putting smell of wet carpet that made for a challenging stay. The heating/air conditioning unit appears to be on its last legs and was incredibly noisy as well. All told, I had a very uncomfortable sleep and I can sleep through pretty anything.

The morning front desk woman was wonderful! The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The property wasn't very nice. There were small pieces of litter on the floor in the hall, including someone's fake fingernail. Everything in the building was humid and muggy even in the room with the AC blowing. It did not smell fresh anywhere in the building.
