Well, we had a hard time turning the AC on. The room and hallway smelled weird, and the bedsheets were still wet, like they weren't dried all the way. There was a used towelette in the bathroom on top of the shower curtain.

The room smelled of mold and was very damp the night we checked in. Because it was late, we tried to make the best of it. The bed was nice, but everything felt damp. My sinuses started acting up. In the morning the situation was not improved. Next to the window in the corner, there was mold. When we went to the front desk, we were told they replaced all the windows, so maybe that is were the excess moisture was coming from. They offered another room, but it had the same smell, we did not see mold. We checked out early.

Stayed for two nights. Decent hotel. Beds were comfortable. Hotel could use a deep cleaning. I don’t usually look under beds but this time my glasses fell behind the bed and as I was looking for them in noticed layers of dust and cow webs it was nasty with layers of dust. Kind of made me a little uncomfortable but other than that it was ok.

The hotel front desk staff are efficient, pleasant and patient and go above and beyond to be helpful. The hotel could use some updates as the carpet,bathroom vanity and fixtures are definitely showing their age. The bathroom was clean enough but the door and walls could use a better wipe down.
