This hotel definitely needs some work. Furniture very worn, curtains had holes which didn’t filter light, ac/heat unit fan option not working. I moved shower curtain and used washcloth and hand towel fell off top railing from previous guests. It was very noisy!

Close to fairgrounds is about the only plus. Hotel needs lots of updates and is extremely old. Management was friendly and fixed it non working toilet quickly. Lighting was dim and minimal, but rooms are fairly large.

Took 30 min for someone to come to desk to check

It took 30 min for someone to even show at desk to check us in. We had to find a phone # to a cell phone to call someone. Our sink is broke. Smells like cigarettes. Etc etc. Shower ran into nothing but cold water. Couldnt use the washer and dryer. And needed to wash uniforms for ball tournaments.
