    At check in the clerk tried to charge us for a room we had already paid for. In his defense, I only gave my name and ID, not that we had already purchased the night stay. As soon as we walked in the room our shoes stuck to the floor. That ruined the stay. The furniture was old...a couch in the room must've been from the 70s. There were spots and black hair on the hand towel. The bathtub was nicely and recently retiled. Like I said we couldn't get past the sticky floors. Old is not necessarily bad, dirty is. The front and bathroom doors had kick impressions on them. I would not stay there again

    The whole room was infested with roaches, even in the bed where I was sleeping I woke up to roaches all over me, and had to GO! everything was filthy, and the bathroom was disgusting. Showers in jail looked better than this. The power and the water both were shut off At multiple random times. The front office had to supply me with a bottle of Raid, and sorry to say but I will never stay here again in life. This experience was traumatic, I have never been face to face with so many roaches

    Was very sad about the current condition of the former Mills. My first room had no working outlets, heater, nor frigerator and one light semi working. The second room was an improvement but no heater. I love quirky places, and this one was good. A barber chair and magazine rack. The lights worked and frig. Both rooms had comfortable beds and were not noisy.

    Hotels.com did charge us for the entire three nights but is supposedly refunding. Hotels.com really should remove this hotel from their inventory!
