The room had a musky smell to it, and the walls were really damaged and dirty. The real thing that made the room completely gross was the dried urine covering the toilet seat. It was covered in it. The staff was kind and helpful but unfortunately the rooms are worse than I could imagine. The bed covering looked hole covered and stained

The room was nasty. I am used to staying in cheap rooms but this was gross. Trash left by the last person who stayed there, mold covering the shower curtain, broken furniture, and only glad a roll of toilet paper. I also found hair on the sheets.
Upon check in they couldn't give me a a key thmachine wasn't working .
