Got there kinda late service gentleman thomas was excellent and did the best he could give us a hotel upstairs downstairs kept knocking on the roof. I try to be courteous and switch rooms twice. Both rooms were unacceptable carpet ripped up old pillows, old bed old. Lots of cobwebs like it hadn’t been cleaned so we had to go back to the first room, which was recently renovated. and downstairs neighbor kept knocking we weren’t even being loud just walking normal. I understand it’s not their fault. Just an old building with no insulation so just expect to be heard by all of your neighbors.

The room is cold, and the heater doesn’t work. They only provide a blanket for comfort. 😳 Overall, the place is clean and comfortable, but the heater is not functioning. It seems like they have energy-saving AC/heater units, but as a result, the room doesn’t get warm or cold enough. I Do NOT Recommend staying here, specifically in winter.
