I expected the accommodations to be bare bones but I was surprised that the room was not clean. The desk chair was filthy and when I tried to call the front desk the phone was sticky and the receiver glued to the base, plus it did not even have a dial tone. The bathroom toilet was open and looked like it had not been cleaned. Then in the middle of the night, the smoke alarm started going off every few minutes. Since I could not call the front desk, I ended up wearing my airpods which mercifully toned down the incessant beeping from the alarm. Luckily, I was there for only 1 night.

Dirty rooms, door didn't lock and was able to be open from the outside which we didn't find out until later wasn't actually secure. Fortunately we only stayed one night but that was extremely unsafe and unsettling. On a more minor note, we had a pretty much useless universal remote for our television. The top of the microwave also became really hot when we used it. Very much seems like a fire hazard.
