It was a bit odd that the office was closed and you have to call to contact someone. Other than that it wasnt to bad. They're clearly remodeling and have a lot of furniture outside on the blacony and by the stairs. If that were cleaned up the room would have a 4 overall

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. It is absolutely disgusting and not health standard compliant. We not only had hairs everywhere, bugs and CIGARETTE WHOLES in the blankets and chairs, but also found MOLD, GRIME and RUST in the "kitchen", toilet and tables. We also met some of the worst staff ever, they are not present at the front desk at any time, and actively avoided us and lied to us AND the EXPEDIA TEAM on the phone to not confront us about the refund. Please do not waste your time, money or health on this sorry excuse for a business, this type of incompetence is unreal.

Do NOT stay here. Its really skeezy.

The place was really run down & mattresses, old furniture etc in the hallways. Peeling paint, cigarette burns on the table & utterly filthy. Despite a non-smoking mandate, the room smelled of smoke masked with deoderizer. If i hadnt absolutely had to stay both nights & the only other options either too far away or charging over $225/night I would have have walked away after first entering the room. I walked from the shower to the bedside & during that 15 foot walk my feet picked up enough grunge from the floor that I was utterly disgusted. The bathroom was gross, no toilet paper holder & half a roll of TP just plunked on the tank of the toilet. No hot water in the "kitchenette" No paper towels or napkins. Microwave had food stuck in it & the counter was greasy.

Worst booking ever!

Please be warn, do not do business with Hotels.com. they have on there website a hotel that was roach infested, and when i tried to get a refund of my 300.00 they offered me a 40.00 one cash key. Their customer service was a -0, no relief at all. Been a member for over 10 yrs. Now I'm dealing directly with hotels myself. If they can't vet there hotels on their sites then its just a money grab for them and hotel. Oh by the way that was also used as a homeless shelter. When you can't even speak to someone in your own country and they direct you to someone in Egypt, you know your getting the run around.

The images on the site were a little deceiving to the actual size of the rooms, the stove top at the location also functioned poorly as it would take upwards of an hour just to boil a pot of water.
