The place was pretty good actually. I think the housekeepping left a dirty toel on the door from a previous guest. The room was very hot. Tobe honest the day was unusually hot, but the ac should have been going.

Condition is in line with the price. The room was clean, but had a musty smell. The bathroom needed many renovations, tub didn’t hold water. Super noisy, I could hear every little noise above me and outside, water may have been dripping upstairs and was so loud I had to wear headphones to sleep from all the noise. Staff was very friendly. Bed was comfortable. It’s in a good location
