Dust and Mold
If you don't want to read this review, I uploaded pictures that say it all. The pictures are from the second room they gave me, the first room was even worse (if you can imagine).
With the setting of the hotel, and the price, I expected it to be better than average. I was wrong. I have stayed at cheap hotels/motels before, and they were A LOT cleaner than this place. I ended up having to switch rooms twice. Even in the room I settled for, there was dust caked in the air vents that I could wipe off with my finger-- which means that a feather duster could get it, too, if anyone bothered. In my first 2 rooms, there was so much dust it was grey/black on the furniture, walls, and window sills. The curtains had traces of mold and dirty finger prints. My toddler found a shiny nail just lying in the middle of the floor. Paint came off the walls if you brushed past them (all over my clothes, luggage, etc.). There were holes punched in the wallpaper as if large pictures had been hanging and they just decided to rip them down.
Let's talk about room size: My first room was tiny, and I thought that's how the rooms were supposed to be. It was the size of a walk-in closet. When I got to my second room, it was HUGE, but with the same furniture, same bed size, etc. The third room was the size of a normal hotel room. I'm sort of glad that room number one was dirty, because if it hadn't been, I'd have been living in a closet for a week and known none the better. I actually had not even asked to switch rooms, I had asked for the rooms to be cleaned, but that seemed like too much of a bother for them. I guess they didn't care that dragging my family's luggage around was a bother for me.
The elevators are very frightening-- they shake violently and make odd noises. I have stayed in "historic" hotels before, and their elevators were not like that, so there is no excuse.
The staff is nice, but I will never stay here again. I do not recommend this place to anyone but a health inspector.
