I have stayed in hotels all over the world, even third world countries. I have never stayed in a hotel in the United States that was as filthy, unkept, and understaffed as this one. There is black mold in the bathroom. When I hung up my washcloth over the bathtub faucet to dry, I came back to see a completely rusty washcloth. Rust is literally coming out of the pipes. The carpet is so filthy and damaged, I've just never seen anything like it. There's so understaffed that when I went to check out, no one was at the counter. When I inquired a woman that worked there told me that there's only one person behind the counter and that she does multiple jobs and I would just have to wait.I waited 15 minutes before I left. Terrible place to stay for the money spent!!!!

Unforgettable trip
Worst trip ever after first night room wasn’t cleaned following day and the towels were removed but not replaced with fresh ones. Room key had to be rekeyed numerous times normally worked for one entry then next attempted entry would not work. Very inconvenient had to go to front seat to get rekeyed.
