Room was not cleaned

The front desk personnel was very friendly, but the room was not cleaned between the last people to stay and us. We found socks and long hair in the sheets and they smelled sweaty. The bathroom also didn't have a fan so it was perpetually damp.

For a one night stay in a pinch, it was perfect. The room was clean, the shower was nice, amenities including breakfast were provided and the staff was good to us as well. The area may look sketchy because it is near the highway, but overall I’d totally stay here again and recommend anyone who is looking to stay for a night or two to do the same.

Upon arrival the hallways smelled of pot, musty, unclean. Bathroom was tiny, toilet wouldn’t flush until flushing 3 times, hair left in shower drain, 3 towels for 4 guests. Pull out couch not comfortable/broken, blankets left on unsure if they were previously washed. No signs to say “do not disturb” maids were in even though we were there 2 nights, that should be a choice! Room smelled musty, everything outdated, needs to be updated. Breakfast choices limited but ok. Close to city, easy to get around. Overall not a great place to stay.
