Baked in hair on the sheets. Slept on the covers with a hoodie on. Pictures of property on Expedia don't match up with reality. Probably old file photo's from 20 years ago. Surrounding area feels unsafe. Afraid to walk to nearby eatery. Had to drive a block away to grab food in fear of getting mugged or stabbed. Would not stay hear again.

There was baked in hair on the sheets and this made us sleep on the covers and wear a hoodie to isolate from the ickiness. Pictures of the rooms condition don't match up. Probably a file photo from when it was new. Real condition is like 20 years later of the same and now frazzled on the edges. Would not stay here again. Surrounding area does not inspire confidence. Would not walk out to neighboring eaterys without feeling like you'd get mugged or stabbed, took car to go a block away.
