They gave me a key to a room that was not made up yet. However, the staff quickly remedied that and moved me to a suite. While not luxurious, it was clean, quiet, with good heat control, comfortable shower, etc.

The property is old and worn looking, but the room was clean and comfortable. The outside entry for each room felt a little unsafe as there were several people loitering around on the second floor. There are train tracks right behind the property and the trains run frequently, so it’s noisy.
