I feel that if you’re in the hotel business and you walk up to the front door and it’s little with cobwebs and everything else I know it’s this time of year that stuff should be cleaned. You’re outside areas for sitting or dirty. The bathrooms were dirty the hallway bathroom for all your guests to use in the bathrooms and the actual guest room rooms. The room rooms were dirty. The bathrooms are dirty two things that need to be clean to make people feel comfortable. I did not feel comfortable there because I felt it was too dirty for my liking other people may be OK with it, but I was not.

Not the hotel I’d stayed at there before that I was so impressed with. But it was clean and comfortable and it did have an elevator. Breakfast was good. Was just an overnight stop with family.

We checked in but had to wait for the room to be ready. We got to the room and it was pretty nice. The bed was very uncomfortable and soft. The breakfast was awful!! You might as well said continental breakfast. It was definitely a big disappointment.
