Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked this room as a last minute stay before a flight. Our room was disgusting. There were black stains on the sheets and the top blanket bedding, as well as cigarette burn holes. We went down to the front desk to get new bedding and they only gave us new sheets, so we had to sleep without a blanket. There were dirty spots on the floor, and we felt as though we had to wear shoes in the room. The non-carpeted floor was sticky, and there were cobwebs hanging from the walls.

I wouldn't
YUCK! Let's start with the smell...the hallway to my room had an odd, not clean smell. The entire hotel could use a face lift. The room was run down, there were burn holes in the blanket (not bedspread) on top of the bed, it was just gross. Breakfast consisted of cold cereal and some breakfast sausage in a crock pot. There was a waffle iron, but no batter, no fruit, no yogurt, just dry cereal and old sausage. The check-in clerk wasn't rude, but he certainly wasn't friendly. To say the least, I wasn't impressed. If you are looking for a comfortable place to spend the night, look elsewhere!
