Sketchier than expected.

Pretty rough for the price. First room had pee and blood(?) stains on the sheets. Plenty of hair and dirt on the floor. One other room had a plastic bag over the smoke alarm. Front desk was helpful, but at the end of the day this felt a lot sketchier than the price would have suggested. Also: no airport shuttle, “been years”

Our stay was nice. The room was clean. The beds were the only disappointment. They were very hard and uncomfortable. They seemed smaller than a queen.

Room generally was good but carpets dirty and not vacuumed. I misplaced my room card and while looking i discovered pretzel crumbs under the mattress. Not acceptable. Places along sidewalks, obscured by darkness, were icy causing me to fall. At the price charged, not impressed. I and my family have stayed in this property for decades. Maybe not again?
