I am 74 years old, I travel a lot and I have never seen an hotel so horrible in my life. What a shame.

The Hotel Hot Springs
The staff were very nice and the main areas were clean. Our room could have been cleaner as there was dust on the furnishings and under the desk. The refrigerator would tilt when opened.
