Breakfast was decent and staff were friendly and responsive. HOWEVER, when i got in bed there were, what appeared to be, old dried blood stains on the sheets. I was given another set of sheets and found the same. I took pictures.

Plastic mattress cover was torn and coming off. No mattress pad was put on the bed. Front desk staff was helpful and brought one up quickly. TV remote didn't really work and no replacement batteries were available (though I think the remote itself was broken).

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The outside of the hotel is terrible, the least they could pick or even cut the weeds in the pathways. Made the first impression feel like I was walking an abandoned building!! The clerk was quick, friendly and check in was easy. Walking to the room several stains in the carpet. The room- 3 pillows per queen bed- the size of a throw pillow. Toilet were not clean, and barely flushed. Now on to breakfast. Open at 0700-we were downstairs at 710 and there was a spoon full of eggs and a few sausages with cold biscuits and some gravy. The desk clerk was sitting behind the desk with no intention to make anymore. She came out and placed the decaf coffee of the brewing station, and ignored everything else.
