Dwayne Allen

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel photos on the website were old. I was placed in an adjoining room as solo traveler on the 1st floor. The desk attendant announced my room number while some stranger stood behind me. I did not feel safe. The room was dirty - carpet stains, sagging bed, desk chair had stains. I sat on a bath towel to keep from getting dirty. I did not stay there, I searched for a new hotel and checked out.

Front desk guys very professional/courteous/helpful. Seems to be a high traffic on right side with women getting in and out of cars and food containers scattered about on the ground. Being from the area originally and have stayed there for over 30 years, seems kinda sad this is tolerated.
