Rude person at front desk… not welcoming… no sense of accommodating or answering questions… simply doing job…no interest in being cordial… like my walking up was an imposition to make her get up off her seat in the back to walk to counter… when I asked a question curt answers… this hotel needs a facelift… worn out & not worth the money

The hotel itself is older. That is fine but the condition is very poor. There is a TON of water damage on the walls and floors. The smell is VERY STRONG of mold and mildew. We saw several boxes of deodorizer sitting around to try to mask the smell which made it worse. The morning front desk clerk was amazing. The morning kitchen lady was very kind. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioner was great. But the above problems with the smell almost made me sick
