Had to stay 6 days for car repairs couldn't get a break on price. Had a smell in the room that ended up being the cabinet the fridge was in. Smelled like something rotten. Don't check anything above eye level it's thick with dust. The used soap from the people before us was in the shower. The shower may get sprayed with cleaner but not scrubbed.

FYI: Do not forget anything in this hotel unless you plan on going back for it. The hotel does not mail ANY forgotten items and will throw out any item after it has been left for more than 30 days. I forgot an expensive pair of headphones in my room and was in contact with the hotel security that had them in their possession. Over the four phone calls I made to them over a period of 2 months they seemed very polite and apologetic for the policy, and more then willing to hold them for me until I could return to get them. Not once during any of these phone calls did they mention they needed to be picked up in 30 days. I called about a month later when a friend of mine was passing through town and was going to be able to pick them up of me however when I called to make sure they knew he was coming they said they did not have them in their possession. Have not seen them and assumed they where disposed of every person I talk to gives me the old "I'm not sure but I will have this person call you back shortly" and it has gone no where. I called at least 5 times and every time I called I was assured someone would call me back but heard nothing. Put me in the wrong for forgetting something in their hotel but I don't know why the no mailing policy is necessary, why NO ONE would inform me after 30 days my property would be disposed of, and who in their right mind would toss a $300 pair of headphones.
