Incredibly dirty room and manager refused to turn off the fire alarm that was out of battery and would loudly beep every 10 minutes

The room was Not clean at all. Shower mold , hair & stains on shelves. Microwave was great & dirty. Smelled bad. Just seemed like it was Not cleaned before We checked ✔️ in. Not worth $178 dollars at night ! 😡

Walls were filthy, tub had mold, bathroom floor was filthy. Toilet paper was stuck to wall next to toilet. Wall socket next to sink kept tripping. Hairdryer cracked and very dirty. Tv picture was blue. The worst violation was the fire alarm was missing with wires sticking out of the wall. Light switch next to door had two different colors of paint all over it. Will never stay here again.

The room was ok. An overwhelming scent of Fabulouso cleaner in the room. Unfortunately the floor behind the bathroom was really not clean at all. Beds were super comfortable, heater worked and it was dog friendly. Coffee shop was a few feet away, which was great.
