The hotel is older and pretty beat up. One of the windows in the lobby was boarded up and seems to have been that way for a while. I'm my room, the paint was chipped in a number of places, there were no drain plugs in the sink or shower, the TV was hung on a bracket that seemed too large and looked horrible and there were cables hanging loose, the door was filthy near the edge from people's dirty hands, and there was a large gap under the door. The bed seemed clean along with the shower, and the microwave worked. I didn't go into the pool area, but I saw there were washing machines in that area. The breakfast area was fine and the breakfast looked okay. I don't have any idea how this place has a 8+ rating, though.
