I always filter my hotel options with pool and breakfast included. As soon as I checked- in, I was made aware that the pool was closed for maintenance during our stay. Pretty disappointing. Had that been listed on Expedia, then I would have booked a room at a different location. Breakfast was good though.

I found a bed bug in the room I was assigned to on the bed skirt that covers the box spring! Just curious to know how often these get switched out? The drain ring in bathtub was rusted/ dirty. The sink drains really slow in the bathroom sink and the smell of the rooms have a foul odor of mist and cigarette smoke.

Felt unsafe since our hotel door did not fit the frame, and there were many drill holes from previous times of adjusting the chain lock. Room was filthy, toilet was not clean as it had stains on the outer rim. Low shower pressure, room was not equipped with amenities such as hand soap, lotion, etc.

The property is very dodgy, with dingy rooms and lack of security at night. Ants were found crawling along the bedside table in my room, and there are stains all over the carpet. I would avoid this property. The front desk staff were the one saving grace, who were relatively polite.
