We didn't see the reviews until it was too late, so we simply hoped for the best. Honestly - it could have been much worse. Our room had no mold, no critters, and the bed was clean and very comfortable. Downsides: As others have mentioned, the parking lot is really not well maintained, lights don't seem to be turned on automatically at night, and the rooms are not maintained as well. Examples: The bath water was filled with what we *hoped* was glitter. The faucet handles on the bathtub leaked. The wallpaper was peeling - and also applied around the bathtub, which was clearly not a good place for wallpaper 😂. Lights were dim in the hallways. That said: Everything worked and was comfortable. You could definitely do worse. Clearly, this hotel used to be something once. I hope it will be again.
