The room we stayed in needed a deep clean especially around the windows. The door to the bathroom was a wooden door. The veneer was pealing and the door dragged across the bathroom floor. I had to lift it by the handle to open it the whole way.

Did not enjoy the overall vibe of this place. The hallway smelled terrible, very strong cigarette scent despite the large no smoking sign at check in. It was very old and worn looking everywhere. The room was decently cleaned, though some of the dishes were not. They do not provide dishwasher detergent so I had to hand wash dishes instead, which was disappointing. They also were using the luggage carts to haul out their garbage to the dumpster which was gross. It’s not the worst hotel ever, but it left a lot to be desired.
