Immediately upon entrance, it smelled heavily of “skunk”. It also smelled as though someone had sprayed strong cologne (and failed) to cover it up. When we arrived to our room, there was a white, crusted stain on the carpet very near the chair. The room was visibly dusty and very dated. The TV did not even have internet capability. We had to use a guide channel to find certain networks, but even that didn’t list the shows or movies. I spoke with a couple other guests at breakfast that stated they also had a poor experience, finding garbage in their room left by previous guests. The mattress was a very old spring bed. My husband and I both woke up with sore necks and backs. The facility is in need of cosmetic updates as well, as the very dated look doesn’t help with the appearance of lack of cleanliness. The hotel refused to provide a printed receipt upon checkout, not a huge deal but I feel they could’ve done it.
