The windows were poor quality and we could feel the freezing air in the room, and the AC didn’t help. In the morning we had ice on the inner side of the windows. The hotel is old and needs a thorough renovation. It has to be updated.

The hotel room seemed a little outdated. I know it was a standard room but just seemed so small. I could hear all the traffic going by. I probably will not stay here again.

Temperature settings didn’t work, bugs on the window sill, horrible lighting, broken bed springs, vending machine didn’t work, front staff seemed to have just rolled out of bed and are unfriendly, I could keep going. Just avoid this place
