Pleasant stay
The room was cleaning, I found a few hairs in the bath and in the bed. I stayed 6 nights and on day two they collected the trash, on day four they changed two towels. That was all housekeeping did, no cleaning, no bedmaking, no replenishing of soaps shower gel. The breakfast was the normal but ran out of supplies early. WiFi worked but was slow. A little more attention to detail would have made it better

Windows on the outside were broken and covered with scotch tape. There were chips from previous guests on the floor and the laminate flooring was not cleaned. Beds were very lumpy and pillows were as hard as bricks. The staff was nice but the property needs some work.

It was small but somewhere to stay for the time being. Quite a bit of noisy people that pass by. I believe most of them were homeless.
