Desperately needs a makeover

First I have to say the employees and service are fantastic. SO friendly and helpful. I know this part isn’t their fault but this place DESPERATELY needs updated and cleaned!! The shower was disgusting and the shower head barely worked, there were stains and dust everywhere, the hair dryer was covered in dust and dirt, and it was just super old and dirty. We were not comfortable at all. The bad part is, you pay the cost of a nice hotel but it’s far from that. Whoever owns this hotel seriously needs to do something.
