"The lobby staff was very nice and helpful. That was the only positive to our stay. We went up for a game weekend and paid way too much for this dump! The hotel is in disrepair…part of the roof looked like it was caving in, the pool was closed..not that I would go in it, and there were dead roaches and bugs in the hallways. The room was spacious..the bathroom was atrocious, the pillows were lumpy bricks of coal, the air was so loud it was impossible to keep it on. That being said, the icing on...
