The room had things unplugged, as if the owner did not want me using them, including the air conditioner. I was able to turn the air conditioner to high or low, but could not adjust the coolness (the knob was taken off.) I was simply interested in a night's sleep, which was why I chose the place. ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 31 Jul 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don't The worst in 40 years. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### MICHELLE, wisconsin 25 Jul 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Get what ya pay for Smelled musty, peeling paint, small, minimal outlets near mirrors to get ready, poor parking near your actual room.
