Booked a room for 5 people and there were only two beds. The bed sheets were dirty, as if someone had slept in them and then the beds were remade.

Truth
There was mold in the bathroom and almost no water pressure for the shower. The beds were comfy but had small blood stains and a couple of cigarette burns. The parking was free and the front desk personnel was kind and attentive. It is a great location for travelers on a budget. It was also very quiet.

Very nice stay
We were allowed to check in early without paying extra, since we came from far away. The rooms were very nice, and had a fridge and microwave. The courtyard was perfect to sit and enjoy coffee and read. There were quite a few nice places within walking distance to go.

Disliked: Staff & service
The cleaning detail for our room was lacking. We only had a quarter roll of toilet paper and only 2 small towels and no shower towels. The website advertises microwave but our room had no microwave. My son who also stayed in his own room was assigned a room with a guest already assigned. He walked in on a lady half dressed. Otherwise not a bad stay
