One of my pillows was missing the case, and had blood stains (seemed to be from a bloody nose). One other pillow had holes throughout the case. The Direct TV box in the room did not work. Can hear everything through the wall/connecting door.

Nice clean room. Looks like place did some updating. Was the old Microtel. Limited breakfast if you’re a big breakfast person.

Room was dirty and hotel put me in a room that the door was left open and after i got in the room they called because they weren't sure what room they put me in. Evidently they had already booked that room to someone else. Hotel looked more to be a long term stay hotel not what it appears online.
