Dirty carpets and bed bugs

Staff were friendly. Room smelled like cleaner but the carpets had crusty stains on them and look like they had never been cleaned. Bedding looked clean but I woke up to bed bugs!!

So we were just here for one night. It seems fairly clean but since there are stains it “feels” dirty. The bed was comfortable. There were soaps and shampoo, a fridge and decent sized tv. The whole place needs updated but it also wasn’t horrible if you keep in mind that it’s just old. It was just ok but the price was right.
