So, I understand that stopping in a small burg along the road isn't liable to get you the fanciest accommodations, but YIKES. It's pretty clear the owners aren't bothering to take care of this place or even properly clean it between guests. Which is extra gross and disturbing with COVID-19.
Where to even begin? The room smelled like cigarette smoke when we entered. I immediately noticed the rough carpet was dirty... especially near the edges along the wall. I found several dead flies on the carpet and in the window sill, which was coated with grime.
The sheets... might have been clean. I pulled them open to find a stain of some kind... They were thin. The mattress was hard. It took me a long time to get to sleep and I felt very stiff in the morning. The towels were threadbare and rough and very small. Good luck getting dry with just one. They only supplied two of each (towel, hand towel, and washcloth) in a double queen room, so I guess you better be down to share.
The bathroom was serviceable; I was able to get warm water for a shower, but the shower head was very low. I mean VERY LOW. I am 5'3" and I was looking it dead in the eye. Crazy. I've heard about tall people having this problem; never expected to encounter it myself, LOL. Also had to fix the chain in the toilet tank to prevent the dreaded "eternal flush." The sink... was not in the bathroom. It's in the main room, with the carpeting. Flow was terrible from it, obviously deposits had formed. Only two lightbulbs were screwed in... the other socket was just left empty.
Frighteningly, a clothes rack/shelf was mounted above the table and two chairs, very poorly. I do not believe it would have supported weight over ten pounds and I wouldn't even try that much because it was practically dangling from the wall. You could see the screws unthreading from the side. Did I mention it also had some random nails sticking out?
We did not try the TV or microwave, but the mini fridge worked okay. Most of the electrical sockets are too loose to use. I was able to find only one that would charge my phone overnight. :(
Honestly, the only thing this place had going for it at all was the free Wi-Fi. That and being nearby a McDonald's so I could get breakfast (they did not provide any, but even if they did, I hella would not trust that). read more
