Bathroom windows had a plan glass exposing yourself to outside world, there is no way a lady can have a bath in this room without someone noticing from adjoining apartment buildings, No cleaning facilities for 5 days, if you ask, they will charge extra they said. Not worth for money at all.

Bed is not a queen like advertised. It is a full mattress; skinnier & shorter than a queen. The floors were quite dirty and the sink leaked so much that we had to put a towel on the floor to sop up the dirty water. Speaker in the TV is blown, too, making watching tv painful.

Check-in is done at another hotel on the same street. The first room I was given was not clean — there was hair in the bathroom, the bathtub was black with dirt, and there was mold on the curtains. I went to the reception to request a room change, and they were very helpful and immediately gave me another one. The second room was clean and comfortable.

No staff onsite, you have to check in a block away. Housekeeping costs extra. 2 towels total provided for 2 adults, no hand towels. Room was filthy. No fitted sheet, just a loose sheet placed over a hair-covered and mystery-stained mattress pad. Comforter was full of burn holes and filthy, covered up with a top sheet that had small stains that appeared to be blood stains. Tub was dirty and full of hair. No overhead lights in the room and one of the “reading lights” at the side of the bed shorted out the first night.
