I found mouse droppings in my room after my first night there!! My room had a mouse deterent device which I only noticed after I saw the droppings. I was not comfortable staying another night even though they offered a different room. Front Desk would not offer me a refund when I went to check out early due to a prepaid room booking. Front desk implied I may have attracted mice due to my having food or drink in my room (which I did not). Overall, I was very displeased with the handling of this and ended up paying double because I moved hotels.

A dump. Filthy, decrepit, worn out. Tv, but no cable or satellite (front desk said it was mentioned on the website, but when I opened the site he couldn’t find it. “It says we have tv, it doesn’t say we have cable.” I took too many pictures to post of dirt, clumsy attempts to patch or repair walls, shower stall, doors…They insisted on a $200 damage deposit, there wasn’t anything in the room that would add up to $200.

Decent stay!

Room was better than expected, decent bed and tv. No coffee/tea in the room. Guy behind reception was pretty rude to another guest whilst I was checking in. Other staff were polite. Good stay, nice street with good food/drink options.
