I’m pretty sure there was some type of blood or sauce on the fitted sheet. Same with the shower curtain. Our microwave in our room ran, but didn’t warm anything. The hallways smelled. Thankfully our room didn’t smell. There were signs everywhere. Almost too many. I’m not sure why only one of the front doors were supposed to be used.

I'm no snob when it comes to budget hotels but I was very disappointed in this hotel. The building and rooms are in need of routine maintenance and basic repair. The elevator needs paint, wood trim was falling off walls, the sheets and pillow cases were stained, the smoke detector was beeping (needed a new battery), and the remote control to TV was missing. The first room I was given was so bad, I requested a different one (I never do that!).
