No amenities - didn't have any plastic or glass or any containers to drink out of nor any ice buckets (which didn't matter as the ice machine was out of order). No coffee available; pool and hot tub empty & not available; "game room" machines gone; room curtains & box spring mattresses shredded. Mattress comfortable enough but extends over foot of bed & when I sat on edge to put on my shoes the mattress flipped and I fell onto ground (didn't get hurt). I've stayed there many times - last around 5 years ago & will never stay there again. The current cliental are less than desirable (just an observation - not a judgement). I only wound up staying. is because of Dino's restaurant right next door and they are wonderful. Also, I was only staying overnight. So sad - used to be OK.

The room was fair but a steel folding chair? The hallways were filthy! Couldn't connect to the Internet! Fridge smelled! No ice (machine out of order). TV remote held together with scotch tape.

The lobby smelled like animal urine and smoke. The room was cleaned but also smelled so, so bad. Again animal urine, smoke....I dont know but it really ruins the hotel. I have spent less at nice hotels.
