Disliked: Amenities
The staff was decent but had issues with verifying the check in process. The TV in my room didn't work and the door lock (not the deadbolt) was broken off. I dont remember off hand if they offer a "continental breakfast" in hotel description, but if they do, they shouldn't.

Not what we expected
Didn’t have the king bed room we booked. Power strip to TV/fridge was off so couldn’t use the fridge because it smelled so bad. The heating and cooling system in the room was shot off so it was freezing when we got there. Very old hotel with much needed updates. Super disappointed.

Will not be going back.
The place is old and run down. Water spots on the ceiling with bowls to catch water in the lobby kitchen. The breakfast was toast/muffins and oatmeal- pretty disappointing. The room is old and worn out. The towel bars were rusty. We switched rooms because there was a dirty sock in the first room. Sheets had stains on them and there was mold in the bathroom.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room was clean but smelled like mildew and smoke. The ice machine was on the other side of my wall and I could hear people getting ice at all hours of the night. One of the exterior doors was outside my room as well and people were entering and leaving through it at all hours of the night as well. Not to mention the stairs were also very noisy. When these things were not being accessed the refrigerator in the room was extremely loud. Needless to say my sleep was very poor. I would not recommend nor stay at this hotel again for the price I was charged.

Meh
It is just ok. Kind of dumpy, kind of not. Very low level breakfast. They should just not offer breakfast. Darn near false advertisement.
