The room smelled musty, and someone must have smoked in that room before. It was also very noisy and the bathroom was outdated, to say at least. You have to disregard holes in the wall.

The service was good, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable. The bathroom however appeared mostly clean, but there was dirt on one of the small shelves in the shower and the shower curtain had mold on it. Made me wonder how well the rest of the room was actually cleaned. We were just staying for one night to attend a concert so it worked well for us. We slept well and it was quiet.

When we arrived, the entire property smelled of cigarette smoke, even outside. The room was definitely smoked in. The sheets on the bed were soiled, with some kind of dark matter smudged into them. To touch, the stuff was easily smeared and it was obvious the sheets had not been properly washed. The towels were extremely small and inadequate. Check-in was easy, but we were asked to pay an addition $100 which made no sense. They said it was a deposit, so we'd better get it back!
