Don't...just don't. Shabby, dirty, poorly lit room. There was a cash(!) deposit required for the room key. Wifi was "open" so completely insecure. Lobby restroom requires a key from the front desk. The bed spread was stained and the entire building was musty smelling. I left and found another place for the night.
