Poorly Trained Staff and low end property

Basic but fairly clean. Staff not trained and left alone. Front desk attendant had trouble checking me in, took her a while to figure out the software it seemed. I ask where the stairs were and she didn’t know (it’s a small hotel and they were just down the hall behind her). No hair dryer in room. They had to go find one in another room when I asked. The door handle in my room was installed upside down. They said several of them were that way. Breakfast looked awful, I skipped it. Would not stay here again.

Unfortunately, this hotel is extremely overrated on this platform. Check reviews elsewhere for better, more accurate, information. We walked into our dog-friendly room and were instantly subject to the coldest indoor temperatures I've ever experienced (possibly the A/C had been cranked to the max by cleaning staff to improve the extreme dampness in the carpet). The main wall, just inside the doorway, was battered and scratched. Both beds had extremely cheap and badly-fitting bed-skirts, and the skirts were spotted heavily with dried mud. Neither the TV nor the phone worked correctly during our three-night stay. Both mattresses were so badly worn it was almost comical to watch anyone sit on them and sink down, down, down. Hallways were marginally clean, some of the time. Attempts had been made to use touch-up paint on many of the beat-up hallway walls, but the color and sheen were not a good match. Exterior door locks did not always work and sometimes required 10+ attempts before the door would finally unlock—people were propping doors open at night with chunks of concrete as a result, creating a serious security issue. PROS: Hotel staff was very limited but friendly—like one or two folks running the whole place. Breakfast was extremely modest and low-budget, but the eating area was clean. Our fridge, micro, and shower all worked, so that was a plus. I also found a working treadmill in the Fitness Room which was a good surprise. This hotel is mainly frequented by road and

Hotel is a bit rundown, chipped paint, stains. The cleaning solvent was so strong when I walked in the room, what are they hiding? When I first went to my room, the key card didn’t work so I went back to the front desk and the receptionist told me “Oh, some of the handles you have to lift up to use” ummm why didn’t you tell me that before?
