Disliked: Room comfort

Cheap but not worth the savings.

The beds were very hard. Pillows were wafer-thin. The soap was the size of a pack of chiclets. Nowhere in the shower to put soap. The toilet needed human intervention in the top tank to flush and refill properly. Only coffee for breakfast. While the price was $100/night, it was not really worth it.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The bathroom walls had dirty muddy like hand prints over the toilet like someone dirty leaned over. The bed sheets and towel you couldn’t tell if they were washed or not causes of the stains. The floors were so dirty my socks were black by the time we went to bed. It was way too late in the evening to find something else. The front desk person kept changing his story about our situation. He had to ask permission to give us a room for the night.

Toilet defective, no tv instructions, refrigerator very noisy, a/c noisy, outside light shone around edge of entry door, online quote was $87, check-in price with tax was $135. Pillows and their cases very uncomfortable. I realize very old building, but maintenance is needed.
