The room was very small but clean. The widow trim showed signs of water damage and/or mold. The chair was not usable as the legs were very loose and unstable. It really requires some upkeep maintenance.

I found mouse droppings in my room after my first night there!! My room had a mouse deterent device which I only noticed after I saw the droppings. I was not comfortable staying another night even though they offered a different room. Front Desk would not offer me a refund when I went to check out early due to a prepaid room booking. Front desk implied I may have attracted mice due to my having food or drink in my room (which I did not). Overall, I was very displeased with the handling of this and ended up paying double because I moved hotels.
