Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The walls, light switches, and counters were dirty, like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Brown splattered stains like mud or something. The floors looked like they'd been mopped then walked on by someone with muddy boots. The shower had rust and grout problems. The towels and linens seemed clean, though.

Not the best
The room was very old. The shower was absolutely disgusting. It was basically clean but so old that it looked dirty. The bedsheets were the same. The street noise was so bad that we could barely sleep. We came up for a football game so that contributed to the noise and the price went up significantly. I learned that normally the hotel is much less per night when there are no football games. In that case, then you are getting what you pay for and it is worth it. The check-in process was easy and the manager seemed nice.
