Staff so very nice, but condition of property is horrible. Even with promise of renovation and evidence of construction, guests should stay away until management is done the work to make this a reasonable lodging option.

We were not told that they were in the process of renovations. While we would have stayed regardless, we walked into the room and it had bed, nightstands, a desk and a TV. The normal furniture we expected left a lot of open space and we had to request a second luggage stand to keep the 2nd suitcase off the floor. Also, not sure the new renovations match the character of the building. We will stay again because it is close to family and the best in town.

Bed was creaky! Pillows flattened with head weight. There was no bed skirt to hide the worn-looking box springs (king bed). There was a tear on the curtain, curtains did not fully come together to block lights at night and then sunlight in the early morning.
Green!
No bed skirt!
Tear in curtain.
Worn/dirty seat & ottoman.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Got there and everything seemed okay at first. Just took a shower and on top of fighting a cockroach in the shower, the fire alarm went off for two hours. Then the fix for the fire alarm? Stuff toilet paper in it while it was hanging from the ceiling. The first lady told us we will get the room for free and then proceeded only to get a discount after talking with the manager. Not okay.
