Inexpensive but not very comfortable

Basic hotel. Minimal breakfast - coffee and bagels. Room was old and worn. It had a strong unpleasant smell. Could have been from fumigation of some kind. Looking under the fitted sheets I found dead bugs, food debris and other unpleasant things. The outside grounds were beautiful.

Very disappointed!

First off I am usually pretty understanding and forgiving but this room for the price was unexceptionable. Worst motel we’ve stayed in, in all our travels. Where to begin…toilet bowl upon arrival let’s just say could tell not cleaned well, bath tub rust stained and slip stickers worn off, bathroom floor mat worn so bad can see thru it and stained, no ice machines that worked, paint above bed all chipped up, sitting chairs all ripped and badly stained. I went to use hairdryer, popped and smoked I immediately unplugged. Carpet all stained. No in room coffee and coffee with “Continental breakfast cold”, very little food. Wouldn’t recommend at all.
