A Pleasant Stay Was Enjoyed.....

VERY nice - for the most part; few if any complaints (wasn't clear if large-screen viewing monitor had USB ports - admittedly, DIDN'T examine; that'd definitely be DESIRABLE though.....)

Thought it was a convenient locations, close to the train station... Apparently "bed sheets (changed on request)" must also be requested by new guests at check-in: there was a lighter under the mattress pad!!! Among the other issues: Wifi did not work in the room; the door has definitely been kicked in (by the police possibly??); there was dried-up used bar of soap stuck to the floor of the shower (btw, there was no plastic shower curtain); one of the doors to the vanity was broken off and stuffed inside, under the sink. Had to put on A/C to cool off the room (it was 74F) where outside it was -5F. They say, you get what you pay for... actually here, you get whatever they can get away with! Never again

Checked in. Got into the room and it smelled terrible and was unclean. Lifted up one of the mattresses and found so much black particles that we were not even sure what it was. Stayed 5 minutes and left. Dropped off the cards and told them we were not staying.
