Room was spacious and functional. Overall clean but areas not easily accessible had debris. Hallways were liminally dated making it an interesting experience in itself.

Updates needed.
The windows in the room have mold around them and cracked with exposed sharp edges. The carpet looks like its never been cleaned. The lamp shades have visible stains, and the headboards look they are completely dirty yet. The pluming in the shower is coming loose, and had to handle with care. The pool area ceiling is falling down and onto the ground and into both the pool and the hottub. There are many areas in the pool area where the carpeted areas are water damaged with what looks like mold growing. People are nice, but the building needs major updates.

It was nice, but the restaurant/bar attached was closed/out of business, the complimentary breakfast was lacking: ran out of coffee, eggs were not so great, the pool area was dirty, and there was no turn-down service to ask for extra pillows or towels. Also, the blankets were itchy. The front desk was very nice and polite. It was a nice stay, the place just needs some TLC.

This hotel is good for the price but could use some TLC-especially with the breakfast. I could rather have a cold choice breakfast that is clean and safe than a hot breakfast that looks unsanitary or not edible.

Lots of work to be done.
Shower had lots of black mold on it. Temperature control on shower was non-existent. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Pieces of ceiling and wall flaking onto carpet. Locks on doors broken. Carpet was dirty and stained.
