Stopped for an overnight stay. We felt safe, however the rooms and hotel seemed a bit run down. The furniture was dinged up. The room looked clean at first glance, but the bathroom was pretty dirty which made us question the cleanliness of everything else. There were splatters on the wall and ceiling. There was a chunky substance on the shower curtain, residue on the shower soaps, and hairsin the tub and ceiling.
