7/7 found this review helpful

Let me start with it's poor qualities, because it has no good ones:

TV/Cable Broken (no TV all weekend).
No closet to hang up cloths.
Blinds only-no curtains to block what the blinds did not.
No overhead lighting-just a night lamp (not enough to do anything by).
Paid extra for frig that was not in the room upon arrival (when delivered, it got put on a wabbly table meant for a suitcase because there was no outlet where it should have been put).
No ice.
No phone.
A bathroom so small and tight that you had to sit sideway's on the toilet to use it and had to step over it to get to the shower.
Room was not cleaned during our stay of three days.
There was a spider and a roach in the bathroom.
There was a dead fly on the ceiling.
We were given a partial credit because of the TV problem, but all it did was bring the rate down to what it normally is (they had it jacked up because it was the Seafood Festival).

Judy, the night time desk clerk did try to help with the TV problem, but the day time clerk did not have a friendly attitude. The whole expierence was very regretable.
