Check-in, went fine when we entered the room. It was so dark and we could see why, when we turned the lights on, it was filthy. The vacuum has not been run in this room. Probably, in a couple of weeks taking the pillows off the bed, there was dirt under all of the pillows on the bed. Shower had mold in it, and we had to walk in our shoes in the room. Because our feet got, it's dirty from walking on the carpet. There's mold in the top tile of the sink area that has not been taken out. And cleaned blessed, it looks like forever. Breakfast ended at 9, and it was poor at best.

Very disappointing

My sheet had a brown stain about 18" long. Looked disturbingly like poop. When l asked to have the sheet changed they handed me a folded sheet and said here's your sheet. With disbelief l asked her to change it and she told me she didn't know how. What??? The tv had a wide black stripe running thru it that they could not rectify. I asked them to discount my room and they told me they could not as l had booked thru a 3rd party. They did not even apologize. Beds were also very uncomfortable. I rarely write bad critiques, but when they told me to change my own sheets they pushed me over the edge.

There’s mold in the bathroom and probably through the room because it feels damp all over. There’s lots of mold and it’s concerning. I didn’t let my kids shower because I’m worried they would get sick from it. I will not stay here again.
Mold on ceiling
Mold in shower tiles.
