The hotel bordered on "gross". The floor was filthy. The shower had a constant drip. The "porch" off of the room had broken parts on it. The fan blades were covered in a thick layer of dirt. There weren't clean, dry towels available. The staircase was dirty. When we checked in the first night, we were given a handicap accessible room which had an unusable shower.

Terrible ! Landlord special. The room was nasty and the bed was broken. Staff were friendly and did give a new room but it was just as bad. I refused to even sit on the because there were stains everywhere. Ended up leaving after 20 minutes and finding somewhere else to stay. Not sure why this place had decent reviews…
