4/10 Fair

I’ve stayed in better hotels for less than I paid; definitely not worth the what we paid. Room smelled/ felt musty. Creepy guy always in the lobby watching our every move at night- made us uncomfortable; not sure if staff, guest, or what.

4/10 Fair

Tired hotel inside, pretty sure someones given up on landscaping outside. Rates jacked WAY up because of high demand for a NASCAR race. Mold on bathroom ceiling, tv remote didnt work, weird smell in hallway. Assigned room torn up w a contractor working in it so was put in a different room. Smoking station is 3' from the front door.
