No bathroom paper at all. Had to go to the office and request. Floor was nasty. Walking on the floor with socks and bottoms were very dirty. We wiped the floor with a damp towel. Probably ruined it by all the dirt and grime wiped up. Would not recommend.

The floors could’ve been mopped better than what they were. I walked across the floor from the bathroom to the bed after getting out of the shower and my feet were black, but other than that, it fit the knee that I was needing while I was in town.

Disliked: Amenities
We arrived just before midnight and felt safe checking in using the outside window. The room was clean, but definitely at the cheaper end of the spectrum of hotel rooms. This is normally fine but, we did not sleep at all due to the paper thin walls and the loud couple next door. Their tv was loud all night and they literally had sex all night, went at it about every 30 min, and smoked a joint after each "event". And we were on the non smoking side of the building. Finally left at 6 am after maybe a total 2 hours of sleep. And, yes, they had just "finished" again. We realized this couple were likely on other drugs too. The manager was sympathetic but his manerism implied that this type of patron was not uncommon.
