Terrible stay at this hotel

There was mold on the wall, door & bath tub The carpet had not been vacuumed There is no receptical outside for smokers to throw the butts into, the front desk told me to throw them on the ground. While I was outside smoking she came out and pretended to be looking at the flowers while watching me closely then went inside and watched me through the door. VERY uncomfortable!!

The floor in the room had not been vacuumed for at least one day, maybe more, and there was a broken bar of soap under the sink. I showed all this to the front desk person who basically shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. They did help with a couple other things. The bed and bathroom were fine. The breakfast was minimal.

One star if you're lucky

The bedspread was gross and disgusting. The place needs a major upgrade, the decor looks extremely dated. Whether or not the property owners are willing to invest the $$ and time to do that I seriously question. Also there's no more continental breakfast, which sucked because I was there a month ago and they offered it. Apparently they're cutting costs/looking to increase their profit margins. The adage "you get what you pay for" definitely applies here! You don't pay much and by the same token, you don't get much. Keep your expectations at zero and you'll be ok, otherwise do yourself a favor and stay at the microtel or Best Western down the street.
