This hotel is a total dump. Rooms are outright unsafe and full of black mold. Missing and loose floor boards are a tripping hazard. Does not look anything like the photos in the Expedia listing and booking info. Massively overpriced, old and falling apart literally.
Unsafe and uneven flooring. Try to walk to the bathroom in the dark at 3am and your sure to trip and fall
Furniture is wobbly and falling apart
