The hotel has two parts. A newer one which they do no put you in if you book through "third party" clearly the owner is skimping on house cleaning staff. The rooms only get cleaned everyother day the rug relt damp from.being so old. It felt nasty on your feet. I requested a room change and was told it would cost me $30 more and they still never switched my room. They wete not willing to put me in the new sectuon of the hotel because I booked 3rd party. The worst experince by far

However the carpet in my room (207) was very very dirty. I hade to wear my flip flops everytime i walked around. And the pillow cases were yellowed.
