This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was smelly, the sheets kept popping off the bed everytime you moved, the towels were so thin you could see through them. The phone did not have a cover on it showing what the buttons were for, like for the front desk, etc. There was some white powder sprikled on the carpet, but could not be vacuumed up because the carpet was wet. There was mold in the bathroom on the ceiling and walls. Spiders made webs in the bathroom. The shower curtain was coated in pink stuff, which I think was staphylococcus (my job is in science). The door knobs, doors, remote, anything frequently touched was coated with something sticky or gross. If you have another chioce, do not stay at this hotel. It is not worth even $20 a night--sleep in your car.
