Booked this hotel via Expedia while parked across the street from it. Although it was after dusk when I booked the room, the place looked fairly nice on the outside. I found out soon enough that it's nice outside appearance was very deceiving, if there ever was a place called a dump, this is it!
When I attempted to check in, the clerk seemed confused by the fact that I had booked my room through Expedia. She asked me on two occasions how was I paying for the room. I was told there were no non-smoking rooms with two beds available although I had requested this with Expedia. I was given a smoking room on the third floor.
The room itself is supposed to be a economy type room used for extended stays. After being in this room for about an hour, I could not imagine how anyone could live in such a place for an extended period of time. The room has somewhat of a kitchenette. There is a single basin dish sink, a microwave, a mini-refrigerator, a two burner cook top, a one cup coffee brewer, and a very limited supply of dishes. All of these items were found to be dirty and we did not use any of them because of this.
The bathroom had been recently remodeled. It has a laminated floor. I found a couple of areas where the rubber floor molding had been pushed back into the wall creating a gap between the flooring and the wall molding. The toilet seat was very lose, the shower curtain was not long enough, and there were cigarette burns on every surface of the bathroom.
The beds were awful. They were hard and one of the mattresses had a torn place where the springs were poking out the side of the it. The television was an old tube model that had a terrible picture. Finally, there was a small table but only one chair and the television set atop a three drawer chest that felt like it would fall to pieces if pushed just right.
