The “renovations” are cheaply done. They didn’t even bother to not renovate or repaint the walls. There are stains everywhere. The ceilings of the first room I was given looked like it was rotting, the headboards of the beds were remodeled, but the bathroom was still old and rusty. When i requested a new room, the second room’s bathroom was cheaply remodeled, the walls were still dirty, the ceilings weren’t rotted, in this room luckily,the headboards on the bed were not renovated… Heating/ac very old and kinda didn’t work. Receptionist was nice.

The room was clean and in good condition. There were limited electrial outlets and tables. An empty spot by the windows made me think a chair was taken from the room.
