Check-In staff is great, the morning house keeping lady would not stop knocking until you answered - though I had to yell through the door that I didn’t need service. The bedding, pillows, upkeep, and cleanliness of this hotel is what I would expect to see in a brothel; motel like at best.

Towels should be removed from service

Towels provided looked like they were cleaning rags. Looking just like towels used to detail a car.

Cheap but gross

The room was disgusting. Burn holes in sheets and comforters. Bath tub so gross i would not take a shower. The rooms do not look anything like the pictures. Towels super old. Floor had some things on it so not sure if it was even vacuumed. Slept with the light on since i was not sure what bugs would come out in the dark. Pillows were flat. Vanity was painted boards not even a vanity.
