Needs a quality renovation

We were excited to see that this tired property was finally getting renovated. But we think our room was one of the ones that had already been “renovated”. It had definitely been repainted—very poorly—as if it had been done in the dark. There was paint slopped on the carpet, tile, etc. It was NOT an improvement over the way the rooms were before. Also, the towels are super thin and rough as sandpaper. Time to replace those! Breakfast continues to be lackluster. On the positive side, the beds are wonderfully comfortable and the rooms are usually quite clean.
