Do yourself a favor, stay in another town
219 smelled of mold, the next morning the bathroom smelled so powerfully of cleaning chemicals I could barely use it... and it still smelled like mold. I had to stay for work so I toughed it out, despite the internet not working, towels like sandpaper, and those horrible stenches.

Best thing was the name
I will admit, we only stayed here because of the name. You could feel the springs in the mattresses. There was a crack at the bottom of the door and you could see outside. There was a white spot where the wall had been fixed but not painted over. The bed comforter had multiple holes in it. There was flat sheets used at the bottom sheets that didn't fit properly. The pillows was awful. There wasn't any hangers in the closet. The bathroom wasn't completely enclosed. The carpet was heavily stained. On the plus side.... I didn't see any bugs.
