I was travelling solo and when i pulled in the parking lot i really didnt get any good vibes. There were no other cars in the parking lot and it was 530pm. Check in was virtual and i just didnt get that "safe" feeling. Room was OK but dated. Toilet would not flush and electric outlet under the desk was not attached to the wall. I had read previous reviews but still stayed because i know some folks are dramatic but nope they were not dramatic. I got what i paid for. Lesson learned.

I checked in quickly and was given the room key to my room at the end of the 2nd floor. The hotel was practically empty with the holiday coming. The room was neat and clean. The light over the window seat was not working. I discovered late evening that I had no hot water! I let it run about 10 minutes and it barely got lukewarm. The he bathroom was clean, but is in need of updating. The person on the desk the next morning was informed of my lack of hot water and asked if she could have maintenance check it out while I went out. I thought it was taken care of. Later that night I was going to shower, but after letting the water run for 17 minutes, the temperature was just lukewarm! I was able to tolerate sponge bathing at the sink , but unable to shower during my stay.
