The room was beyond disappointing. The beds are broken down and the most uncomfortable I’ve slept in ever. The shower had a leak so heard dripping water all night. Mini fridge was leaking and got onto our luggage. Requested to check out after 1 night of a 2 night stay due to the poor condition of the room and was denied a refund even though I was told I would receive one. They offered me a new room but the experience was so bad I was unwilling to even look at what else they had to offer. Will never stay here again

Hair in the sink drain and some food particles. It was gross. I don’t mind old building or old furniture or small bathroom as long as they are clean. I got worried on the first few minutes that we went in the room as the power for the AC tripped. The towels were gross. We bought towels in target. There were hairs also stuck in the hair dryer. I’m not going to boom there again.

You get what you pay for. Check reviews, look closely at the pictures. If you need a cheap stay in a great location this is it. But do not expect much from the property itself.
