Friendly but Rough Condition

At the original check in, the room we were offered already had people staying in the room. Once this was resolved and we got a new room the room we were given was in pretty rough shape. Paint was peeling, the tub faucet had a constant trickle, and the was what looked like a melted starburst on the floor next to the bed. The alarm clock and outlets in the nightstand next to the bed were plugged into an outlet that was switch controlled. Meaning you couldn't set the clock or charge your phone unless the lights were on. I didn't take a lot of photos, but I wanted to make sure we didn't get charged for damage. Overall the bed was fairly comfortable and the staff was friendly but will not be staying there again.

The hotel room we were given had a toilet leak and the floor was wet and got worse if you flushed. The room was not clean but did have an overwhelming scent of bleach that made our eye burn, it was sooo strong. We were not given the option to move rooms but someone came and put a bucket where the toilet was leaking to keep it from going all over the floor.
