Stayed 1 night

I would NOT even give this place 1 Star, if a lesser rating was an option. At checkin, we were given a small cabin, and when we went in, the bedspread had obvious stains, the paint or whatever wall covering was peeling around the air-conditioner, the furniture was extremely old and showing much wear, the light in the bathroom constantly flickered trying to barely light. The bathroom floor linoleum had curled up along the wall, and the floor was covered in moldy stain spots, the shower had been poorly repaired leaving it Fraken-scared. Moreso, the heat did NOT work! The desk attendant said he would call maintenance, we left to meet friends, and returned to find the cabin just as cold, without heat. We returned to the desk, again, requesting another room, and were told no other rooms were available, despite being the rental office for 4 motels! and Vacancy sign lit. We demand the clerk contact the ma ager, he said he texted the manager, but nothing could be done that night. The clerk was not willing to do anything, even without heat!

1950s era “cottage” with updates in the 80s? Had any infestation and water damage. Shower was miniscule.
