Restroom reeked of urine. Multiple long hairs found in the bathroom, and one on the bedroom door. Stagnant musky smell from the AC unit. I'd rather park in the parking lot and sleep in my car. At least now I know to avoid this chain at all cost.

The hotel smells fowl. Not sure what I was smelling but it stunk. Maybe just a weird musty odor? The bath tub was gross and the shower rod was all jacked up. On a positive note, the TV worked, It was in a good location, only $80 and the bed was more comfortable than it looked.
