The hotel was a disgusting mess. The room stunk and was incredibly dirty. Paint was peeling everywhere. I booked through Expedia and will never use their services again. On way to small claims court for a refund after a call to the board of health.

The hotel is nadty, needs upgrades, the toilet was dirty, bed linen dinghy. This place needs to be closed down. You shouldn't have this place on your website. I was hitching the minute I get in the bef. I think there's bed bugs because I have bits all over my skin. This place shouldn't be recommended.
