"We were helped by a very nice an attentive gentleman at check in and check out. On the way out he requested that we leave a "good review if we can" which saddened me because it appears that he may be the only one trying to keep this hotel alive. It is horribly maintained and although it appeared to be clean the grungy atmosphere made it impossible to really feel clean. Despite the nice guy and his impossible task we wouldn't be returning."
