I've been to this hotel many times over the years, and this is the worst I've seen in the condition of the room. Both shower and sink faucet leaked. There also sounded like there was some kind of leak from above the ceiling near the sink. These rooms have been neglected and are in serious need of maintenance and appliance upgrade. Staff was courteous and accommodating when I requested a different room. Room was otherwise perfect for my needs, which was to sleep and do some work using the desk table.

The pictures are deceiving. The carpet was stained so I used my shoes as slippers the entire time. We didn’t see housekeeping not one day, our garbage was piled by the time we left. I also had to go to the office for coffee and clean towels. The mattress was ok but the box sorting was noisy. Not up to par, but it was SB weekend and all other hotels were booked. Definitely not ok for small children, ok for single or couple travelers.
