Moldy restroom

The room had a somewhat stuffy atmosphere. The restroom was my biggest concern. It appeared to be moldy, with both the tub and floor affected. Furthermore, the tub and toilet did not seem to have been cleaned prior to our arrival.

When arriving the outside of the property was clean. The hallways needed vacuuming you can tell it wasn’t done. When checking into my room #204 we had no bath clothes went to the front desk to get some and the guy gave me cleaning clothes as bath clothes which was shocking. While taking a shower the water wouldn’t drain so the tub would fill up with water which was very nasty.

The overall hotel room was one of the most sturdiest rooms I've ever stayed.There were black spots on our sheets and pillowcases.And then when we went to take a shower.The bathroom shower had flew off.And almost hit us in the head.We had to have him change the shower head because it would not work even after tightening it, the overall maintenance of the hotel smell like cigarettes, even though it was a non-smoking room and just the overall dirtiness.We'll never stay here again

I arrived late, exhausted, and ready to collapse into bed. Unfortunately, my stay quickly turned into a live-action horror comedy. Night one: I was jarringly awakened by a man screaming in the hallway. He appeared to be holding an impromptu TED Talk about the hotel's cleanliness, though his exact words were hard to decipher—maybe due to the panic or the echo off the suspiciously sticky walls. I managed to fall back asleep, chalking it up to “crazies.” Morning one: I opened my door and two roaches sprinted into my room like they were checking in for their own stay. I played exterminator with my shoe, which honestly deserves hazard pay at this point. Later that evening, I met another roach—this one on the bathroom wall. I tried to channel my inner ninja and struck it down, only for it to land on my towel. At that moment, I decided I would not be bathing here. I slept fully clothed like I was camping in the wilderness... with questionable linens. Speaking of which, a massive mystery stain on the bed sheet revealed itself like a jump scare in a horror film. Too tired the night before to notice—lucky me. Checkout morning: One final roach made a farewell appearance as it scurried behind the headboard like it was clocking out of a shift. I didn’t wait to say goodbye. I grabbed my things, loaded up my car, and got out faster than a contestant in a haunted house challenge. In summary, if you’re looking for a hotel that includes a midnight hallway performance, surprise bug
