Terrible terrible hotel

Nothing was right about this property. Dated dirty and not at all well maintained. Towels were soiled and not replaced from the last guest, no shampoo, safe did not work and housekeeping left door wide open for anybody to walk in. Brought the attention of the duty manager, but as payment was made beforehand nobody gave a dam. We left a day early and glad to have done so, obviously no recompense.
