Pros +

  • Great location and safe area.
  • Location
  • My initial greeting

Cons -

  • Uncomfortable beds, floor was not clean, bathroom smelled like mold (understandable since the building has a long history in this small town)
  • It needs to be painted outside. It needs lights in the 3rd floor hallway. A waiter accepting all responsibility for anything that breaks on the room signed at checkin under duress. A step above camping.
  • I'm old and was given a 3rd floor room (no elevator). I asked about parking and was told it was out back (it took me a day and a half to find it. I had to ask for clean towels to be brought to my room and the bed was never made or linen changed.

Attendant was in lounge clothes on couch watching tv..after a bit she told me if I was a guest there was an envelope for me. I thought she was a guest & she said she was a manager. When I had to go find her to get towels, she was in her under clothes
The main light in the room did not work, the little lamp was unplugged, there was a sink, but with only freezing cold water, there was no blanket between the coverlet and the sheets, the plaster is peeling, the shower did not drain and was down the hall
