"I was told the hotel was sold. There was no name or sign on this hotel whatsoever. How can you have a hotel with no name to let people know where you are at. The guy who checked me in was very nice and trying hard to do well by everybody, but I thought I was being punked. Stayed two days and never had anybody make a bed, leave clean towels, clean up or do anything. I'm really not that picky but this was unreal. Seemed so understaffed. I really should get a refund from this place it was so bad."
