The only issue I had was that the stove was not working and they only had 1 fork. The pots and pans were quite old.
Clean place, small room but perfect for a night stay. Small fridge with microwave. Overall happy for cleanliness and price!

The room was nice. Basic amenities. Conveniently located.
We wished the window has curtains. People can see us from outside if we have the lights on. Noise level was high. We can hear next door’s tv and people voices.
This was the worse place I stayed. We stayed for 2 nights and both days no hot water. I let them know and they stated was braker. Never got hot water luckily my daughter was staying next door and used her shower. Did not even offer anyone to look at it, or switch us rooms or anything of reimbursement. Then my daughters bed had a insect in it and her boyfriend got bit. I have proof. Will never stay there again. Our room number was 112 not hot water the whole stay. Room 111 had the bug in the bed.
The bedding sheets and towels are really dirty. There was dirt on the sheets and long black hair on 3 towels I opened!! A really big bug crawled across the wall….
