Thankfully was only for 1 night
Staff was friendly. The room was hot when i got in, the ac wasnt putting out cold air, maybe cool air. No main lights, had 3 lamps, 1 had no bulb. Bathroom light took about 15 minutes to come on...The bed was about as hard as the floor. When i sat down, it didnt move. Pillows were big blobs, head went right to the bed when i laid down.

The ceiling was sagging, the plugs were coming out of the wall. We had reserved a room with a king bed and got a double bed with extremely small and flat pillows. The faucet on the tub was sticking out of the wall farther that it should have been. The sink was only partially attached to the counter top, and it smelled like smoke even though we requested a smoke free room.
