Very disappointing stay. The room was completely different from the pictures shown online. It had a strong unpleasant smell and was very poorly maintained. The bed sheets were dirty and had hair on them, which made it feel unhygienic and unsafe to stay. Overall, the property was not clean and did not meet basic standards. I was extremely uncomfortable and had to request a refund. I would not recommend this place.

The room was fine, though unusually styled. Pictures hung up with a screw going right through the canvas, not placed anywhere logical on the wall etc. Not a big deal by any means, but odd enough to warrant a raised eyebrow on initial inspection of the room. No towels in the bathroom, had to grab backup from living area storage. Checking in was easier said than done, the desk wasn’t manned even 10 mins after 4, when the signage said the desk was staffed from 9-5.
Screw through the top of the canvas, also very cooked at first.
Placement was odd, pic should have been hung above the queen bed in this room.
The only table and chair in the room, note the chairs bar height and you wouldn’t be able to sit facing the table with this chair.

Asked if cooking was available was told yes so we upgraded to a suite..no pots or pans are included.so you cant cook we were told we needed to supply them despite paying extra for a kitchenette room came with one towel and a couple of small towels.We asked for more towels and still didn't get any until the next evening when we requested them again. We arrive to our hotel room and could not get in because the battery had died for the door lock. We asked for a refund and were denied.They told us we could do something for our next visit.We informed them.We wouldn't be having a next visit. Lots of less than desirable people in the area and staying in the hotel.Lots of noise, police and drug activity.

I read the reviews before booking and thought "How bad can it really be?" Fights outside our room at midnight for two hours. Furniture being thrown around in the adjacent room. The manager told US to call the cops who took away the drunken neighbours. I got my answer.
