Meh

This was just not the right space for us as a family staying multiple nights. The room was spacious enough, but with no in-room coffee maker, a super tiny fridge, and the light switch on the outside of the bathroom it made it hard for us to be comfortable. This is definitely an older building with new decor, so low ceilings and some awkward refurbishments. It is in a great location making it very convenient otherwise.

When I arrived someone was in their car in the parking lot smoking weed. My room was ready and I went and dropped my things and then headed to dinner. When I came back the same person was in their car in a different parking space doing the same thing. My room was an accessible King. The sheets had stains on them. There was a dead fly on the window and another dead bug by the sink. The accessible shower didn’t have a curtain. The knob was broken so getting hot water was a challenge. The heater made noises as if there were parts rattling around inside.

It was ok, the room wasn’t 100 satisfying. I had to clean the sink and counter top when I got there. There was hair in shower and it wasn’t cleaned around bottom of toilet. I am head of housekeeping at my job in NY so I am a little pickier than most
