Musty smell in the hallways and elevator. Dirty towel left hanging behind the bathroom door from previous customers. Area outside near doors was littered with trash that had obviously been there for some time. Staff was friendly.

I failed to buy travel insurance since we were only going 3 hours away. A winter storm and fender bender prevented us from getting to our destination. I asked the hotel if they could make an exception, they said maybe.

not the worst but not the best

it was not a bad stay. but when i took a shower there was barely any water pressure then I go to get a towel unfold it and it was dirty. not stains but actually been used and refolded and put back. it was gross. I did complain to the front desk person and she said they must have forgotten to take it out of the room.. ummm no if you literally folded it it wasn't forgotten. Otherwise the room was good. the bed was comfortable. the morning food was cold not up to temp.
