Came with a large group of students on a trip, and we had all read the reviews. We were all very precautious and did what we could to prevent bed bugs. It was a very scary experience to say the least. Fortunately, none of us experienced bed bugs, but it was very clear that this hotel is old and dusty. The carpet was buckling in areas, there were various tiny stains scattered around our rooms. There was an ominous door in the back of our room that was bolted shut, and due to the fact that it was nighttime, we could only make out the fact that the room behind it was very creepy and dirty. We found out it was just a wall later, but it was odd. Saw a review about the hotel smelling like musty arms, but it only smelled like musty arms in the stairwell. Overall, it was not as bad as the reviews say it was. Our rooms were not terrible, and we were actually pleasantly surprised because we had set our expectations so low. The air conditioning works very well. It is clear that the hotel tries their best to fix their issues and get better.
