The room smelled like dog and the beds were stiff as a board. We left a pillow behind and there was no easy way for us to contact the property. They outsource their calls for lost items.

Do not go to this hotel!!

The experience was disgusting. The room was old and dirty. The bathroom was disgusting, the shower faucet control was broken, there was two towels and no wash cloths. The sink faucet felt like it was broken, the mirror was broken, the. The bed clothes were gross there were only two tiny pillows and everything smelled terrible. This hotel should be condemned.
