Carpet was dusty, dog nose smears on windows, entire building smelled like overwhelming use of "air freshener" to mask the smell of old carpet. Was told i had to pay for breakfast to get a cup of coffee.

The hotel is so dated and the rooms are tiny. The bathroom was dingy and the exhaust fan didn’t even work. There were 2 lamps with blown out bulbs and the tv was so old the remote would barely turn the station. Not to mention they shut the water off sometime while we were sleeping so when we woke up we couldn’t brush our teeth, shower, or use the restroom. There were signs posted saying that the water would be turned off… However that would’ve been nice to know before booking. A shower would’ve been really great when I woke up this morning

The pool advertised was outdoors and not open due to winter so no swimming for the family and was a huge disappointment. Also very poor upkeep and very rough finishes.
