Ranked far higher than it deserves

Description did not mention this was a motel style hotel with doors that open to the outside and a large chunk of rooms separate from main building, meaning you have to go outside to get to front desk and other facilities. Very noisy AC/heater. Outdated windows. Faucet spout on tub broken. Stayed on second floor in the building separate from the main one, which has no working ice machine and no elevator: be prepared to haul luggage up two flights of stairs.
