The hot water did not work. The refrigerator in the room didn’t work (freezer did). This was the only available hotel for a last minute one night stay. If we had booked for longer, I would have moved to a different hotel. The price of the room seemed steep since the place was dirty and outdated.

Walking in, there was no one at the desk for at least 15 mins. I waited with 3 other hotel guests who were very unhappy. One man pulled out a giant mattress cover from his room, COVERED in pee. Our bed also has a yellow stain on it but it’s so late we decided not worth it to try to find somewhere else because it’s non refundable.
