As soon as we walked into our room a terrible musty, dirty and damp smell hit us. I turned the AC unit on and there was a single air freshener that was shoved into the vent. We stuck it out for an hour with the AC running then I called the front desk to see if there was any other room availability. According to the front desk there was not. The more I looked around the room I noticed on the base of the beds that stuff has been spilled but never cleaned up. We left for dinner to get some fresh air then I decided to just check out and find another hotel. The room wouldn’t have been too bad if it wouldn’t have been for the terrible smell. I would’ve been fine with a different room too.

Like the location on the far end of town where we could walk to our favorite restaurants - The Peddler, Park Grill and Crockett's Breakfast Camp. Enjoyed our River balcony room but smokers on balconies ruin the experience.

Mold found
After only 10 minutes of walking around the room after check in we noticed a lot of things that were not acceptable. The carpet in the area around the balcony door (~10sqft) was soaking wet. From the carpet being soaked, part of it was completely pulled away from the wall (the portion where it was going up the wall acting as trim). Immediately we noticed the mold that was black in color in this spot. The toilet was also stopped up. We called down to the desk to address the wet carpet, toilet and mold. The receptionist’s response to the carpet being wet was, and I quote “yes from the rain the last two days”. I said “okay, well the toilet is also stopped up” and she replied “there’s a plunger at the desk”. I then said there is also mold behind the carpet that has pulled away from the wall where it is wet and she said, again “yes from the rain the last two days”. It was obvious this amount of mold was not just from the last two days. We immediately contacted hotels.com to remediate the situation as staff was not even willing to help and they have been a good at trying to assist in any way they can. They were full and couldn’t move our rooms so we had no choice but to stay. The window seal above where the carpet was wet was disgusting, leaking (over a three day period we witnessed this several times) and a mold spot popped up under the window on the wall (where I’m assuming they have tried to clean it and it keeps coming back).

Beds were not as comfortable as I had hoped. Bathroom was very small, but clean. Staff was friendly, could have used more than 3 towels at at time and more than one wash cloth but overall was great for what we paid for it!
