The beds are low quality and very hard. The bedding is cheap and old. The pillows feel like they’re from the dollar store. The showerheads are garbage. undrinkableCoffee is a crime against your guests. The staff from the front desk to the maids to security were friendly and attentive, and the building itself is very nice.
