Vomit!

We stayed in Room 302. The room wreaked of vomit and there was a large amount of mold in the tub! Never in our 50 years have we seen or smelled such grossness in a hotel!

Not great, but not bad

Pretty basic motel. No elevator, and we had a second floor with bad knees. Not great, but not bad either. There was hair on the floor in the bathroom which was kind of disgusting.
