It REALLY needs a deep cleaning! I have pictures that would turn your stomach, but no place to post them. We had a freaking EARWIG in our bed!! This place is gross...neither of the restaurants offer breakfast. The 32" TV was an interesting throw back. The furniture, windows frames and paint are in awful shape. The hotel areas aren't bad, and I understand if was a Hollywood favorite in the 50's, but the rooms are run down and after seeing the bug in our bed, we left.
