It was very sad to see the conditions in the room. This used to be a very clean place to stay. We had to wipe down everything. Walls need cleaning every Spring and carpets should be cleaned. Hope the new owners can spruce it back up again.

Our room had an infestation of Bedbugs (full grown to larvae). We contacted the front desk at 10:30pm to let them know. They kept telling us they were no bugs. We showed them pictures then brought them to the room to show them in person. They finally offered us another room, but upon inspection found the mattress to be stained and gross and questionable whether there were larvae. We said we'd rather leave and find another hotel. They finally agreed to refund our money. I would not stay here again.

Everything was good except the heaters were problematic. I was comfortable in bed but a little cool otherwise. The bathroom was nice and warm.
