The room was not clean and bed was dirty customer service was good . And towels and rags was not clean .
The staff was nice and the check in was easy but this hotel look nothing like the pictures. This hotel is very, very old. My room ok, but the linen was old and dingy. I went to walmart to buy a set. The sheets had stains.
Burns in bedding, shower did not work, mold in tub, stained towels and no toliet paper. When asked for another room or assistance, clerk shrugged and said there was nothing she could do. It was so bad, I left and went to another hotel. When I asked for a refund (I had booked a 2 night stay) I was refused even after contacting the manager. This is no way even a 2 star hotel!
