“Needs improvements”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

people found this review helpful

The entry into the room is about 12 inches high , hard to get in, The mirror in bathroom is to high could not see oneself. Water temperature was extremely hot. Curtains are frayed and very old. stained walls in bathroom. Overpowering smell when entering room of potpourri. Windows old and not secure and hard to open and close. However , the bed was very comfortable and clean towels daily.

“disgusting”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Probably the grossest place I've ever stayed at - and we are budget travelers. Where to begin - The stairs going up were treacherous. The room was tiny and very, very shabby, there was an ashtray in a nonsmoking room, cigarette burns on the disgusting looking chair, old, yucky curtains that barely closed, and gross, ancient upholstery. It was filthy under the microwave (not that we dared to eat there). The sheet DID NOT EVEN COVER THE WHOLE (old, gross mattress) BED! When we went down to ask for another sheet, the proprietor didn't want to give us one, saying that "it was a full-size sheet on a king-size bed" as if that explained it! We did not see any bugs, but from what I've read about bedbugs, if they were anywhere, they'd be there. But thank goodness we only encountered flies. We didn't dare to shower, and got up early and high-tailed it out of there. I'm still recovering.

“NASTY!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2010

people found this review helpful

It was stinking, old, the carpets and curtins were there since the 60's. The tiles on the ceiling were stained and leaking, towels were yellow and stained, would not dare get a shower. Got up in the morning to a large puddle of water on the bathroom floor. No security, the windows don't lock. The only thing that kept me from sleeping in the truck was I had kids with me, and just spent 2 hrs or more looking for a hotel from an 8 hour run so it was like 11pm and all the hotel in watertown were booked solid. The only thing good abour this hotel was a comfortable bed and fresh smelling sheets.
