No elevator. Old. Smells musky. A/c doesn't work well. Phone did not work. Limited to 4 towels per room even though 5 guests were registered to stay in room. I did not like the check in or check out experience. Nothing about this stay makes you feel like a special guest whatsoever. Housekeeping does not come daily and trash piles up.
