3. I felt that the room rate ($130 inclusive of tax) was a bit too much for the quality of the room - dingy, depressing, with a 1970's TV and bare bathroom (you'd be afraid to look under the bed).

4. I haven't stayed in a hotel this dirty and dingy in years and would have left for another property if there were any options available in the town, unfortunately, there aren't any.

5. Our room faced the back parking lot so there wasn't much of a mold problem in the room itself, but the hallways smell musty and are quite dingy.
