The whole place smelled musty, the furniture was old and beat up, and I honestly didn’t even want to touch anything without wiping it down. I’ve stayed at budget places before and never expected luxury, but this was unacceptable.
This place should either undergo a full renovation or be shut down. Do yourself a favor — avoid it...
