Worst experience ever with a hotel. Upon check in, the hotel owner/manager was berating his staff about charges to another guest. This continued the whole time he checked me in. He then personally said "give her room 105". When my family and I entered the hall of the hotel it reeked of cigarette smoke, when we got to our room it reeked of chemical smell (probably something to get rid of the smoke smell) Went to front desk and said we'd only be staying 1 or 3 nights because it was so dirty/gross. He offered another room and not a refund. We explained another room wouldn't have made a difference (especially since he personally put us in that room). He then said we needed to take it up with Hotels.com. Spent 30 min on the phone with Hotels.com and they said he refused the refund because we wouldn't take the new room. It was disgusting. Hotels.com should be ashamed to offer this place on their website. Dirty everything, loose faucet, spider webs on lamps, something splattered on the tv, stained/dirty lamp shades, dirty towels, sink with dirty/missing caulking, wallpaper was stapled to the wall, curtains hanging by the rod, plaster on walls, missing towel rack, and the grossest was the toilet. Never received refund or follow up from Hotels.com or the Magnusun Hotel. Would not recommend to anyone. Pay $20 extra dollars and stay somewhere decent. Took a stroll around the property to get fresh air. Besides overgrown vegetation, it was a pretty decent area of town
Dirty/Dusty Lampshade.  Had spider webs inside of it
Toilet that had extreme stains
Curtains were falling off the rod
No towel bar, metal protruding from bracket and another metal thing on the wall with sharp edges (very left of switches)

Just was a weird experience… owner assumably was the man that was there when I arrived. He was sitting in the common area eating & watching a game on tv, mind you I had just pulled up into a spot right next to the building in the 5 minute parking spot, the lights were shining right into that common area. Rather than checking me in, he sat and continued to eat and watch his game on the tv, not to mention didn’t even say hello until a minute or two had gone by of me standing at the front desk 10 feet away. Finally comes to the counter and goes through the usual small talk, well when I returned the polite question of “and you?” to his “how has your night been?”, he says “Lonely. Very lonely.” Just… ick. Made me feel weird given the context that I am a mid 20’s female completely by myself at a hotel in the middle of absolute no where at 11pm. Anyways, got the key, let him know that I was going to grab my stuff from my car and that I’d be right in, then I would move my car out of the limited time parking area. So I went out, grab my bags, and head back in. He is promptly standing at the desk that time when I walk back in, and as I pass he walks out from behind his desk, right behind me and starts walking closely behind me. He walked for about half the hallway with me and all I could think was “I’m getting followed into my room. This is it.” Maybe it was just hypervigilance but the previous “lonely” comment made it 10x more uncomfortable and more suspicious. Would not book again.

The front desk could see that I was clearly disabled, and they didn't provide any opportunity for a room that would help me with my disability, it was a two day stay that I had and even the next day I had to go down the stairs and go to the front desk to just get a new entry card because my card stopped working it just isn't a facility that facilitates people with disabilities or anyone that's looking to actually relax

So disappointing
The owner, Bob, was very nice. He welcomed us to the hotel and bar. My grilled cheese was good. The problem is this place needs an overhaul! The tubs looked like they threw acid on it toilets were mildewed. It didn’t feel stable to stand in it. Cleanliness is not a priority.
