Wow, so bad

Pros: Nothing??
Cons: A huge fire would help that place a lot.
First off, not worth it if you have a car, we ended up being charged more than travelocity claimed we would be charged for parking. The first staff member gave us the wrong wifi, ok, not so bad, we don't need it, it's just irksome. She told us there were two routers and to try both. There's actually 3 and the third one is the one we were supposed to use. Secondly, the lights turn off and on via remote, which tends to overlap with other remotes and so our lights got turned on and off at the whim of someone else unknown to us. Third, if you come back after midnight someone has to let you in, we came back after midnight and there was no one there. We waited... We knocked... We pounded... We kicked at the door and finally rang twice and the guy finally woke up from his nap on the desk after more than 20 minutes. Did he at least apologize? Nope! He said, "It's fine! Don't worry about it!" When we told him he should at least apologize he said, "It's fine. I'll apologize in the morning."...... So we told the manager who claimed to be the owner. She said, "Oh, sorry to hear you didn't have a good stay, we'll review the tapes and take action if necessary. Thank you!" That's it. No reimbursement, nothing, just, "We'll look into it". God awful place, worse hotel I've stayed in and I've been to some pretty shady hostels in China.

Older facility, but MUCH cleaner than some full-service hotels I’ve stayed at! Shared WC, bath w/shower down the hall. Shared large kitchen, laundry room. Coffee in the AM. Great location, great price, No problem staying an extra night. Some city noise, but not annoying (close the window solves that) Room had sink, mini fridge, small tv, room safe, ceiling fan, clean towel daily. Good WiFi throughout. Would definitely stay here again.

Old Down town Hotel

The room was clean no bathroom in room shared down the hall, shared shower as well down the hall. Old hotel with the perception of having permanent occupants. 13" TV with safe and sink in the room.
