punk'd styaing here

Atrocious place. Waited at the door in the cold with heavy bags ringing bell until someone came and asked why I hadn't rung. Room was no more than a place to rest head during an extremely high pressure and stressful trip resolving personal business. Check out was aggressive and no accommodation was allowed nor offered (even for pay). The beds squeak and springy; bugs aroudn the open drains on first floow. Management staff act like deer in the headlights, totally unable to hear or understand whatever good/bad/urgent/funny thing is being said. I felt like an inconvenience the mgmt resented having there the whole time, in between reminders of how ripped off I was has just been suckered

Hana

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was like a motel which I didn't realize, so you open the door and it leads to the parking lot. I was travelling alone so it felt unsafe. The neighbourhood is a bit rough with homeless people around. I didn't feel safe leaving at night. There was a small hole in the floor of the bathroom. One of the walls was very dusty and hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Breakfast was very small and in the tiny room that you check in at.
