I've seen worse

Very friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Relatively clean and a modern bathroom. However... Mattresses sucked, shower didn't drain well, and the pillows and towels were pretty rough. Asked if there was a different room that might have better mattresses. They let us look at another room which was available, but it wasn't any better. Take this all in the context that this about was the cheapest option we could find, so there is that.

A good low-budget hotel.

It is an old building, but the people operate the hotel are trying to do their best for the customers. I would say the hotel is reasonable for the price.

First thing we noticed was the smell of mold and mildew. After a few minutes in the room we noticed hair on the toilet, shower, and towels. Dark drips down the wall in the bathroom. There were dirt, crumbs, and debris all over the floor, the bed skirts were covered in hair from pets. There was mold in several places including the back of the upholstered chair. The outlets had brown gunk all over them. Sitting on the bed you could hear and feel the springs, it was so uncomfortable especially with my spine disorder I would not have been able to sleep on them. The comforter had holes in it, some obviously cigarette burned. The tv remote and door knobs were greasy. The door to the bathroom was so terribly repaired in so many places it was ridiculous. Honestly the worst and most disgusting experience I've had since 2010, there is no reason these days to pay almost $100 for a room that awful. Very unsanitary.
