Building held together with glue. Huge carpet holes - tripping hazard in hall. Strong mold/fungus odor in room - owner obviously knew because there was a dehumidifier sitting on the floor. Bathroom door stuck closed with loose handle and hinges- had to lift the door up to open. Parking lot too small - had to park in adjacent liquor store lot. Staff was pleasant and free coffee station was nice

The room was clean but I had no lights aside from a few desk lamps, one of which was making electrical noises and flickering. The shower was clean but the shelf inside was not level and my soap kept sliding off. In addition the shower pressure was terrible. Otherwise everything was fine.
