Adequate Stay with Issues
good locationsmall windowinterior smell
The location was pretty good. (It was close to everything).
My room seemed like a basement because almost no light came into it. The small window faced an interior, so the smell inside wasn't the best. the access to the hotel was awkward because I had to carry luggage up a lot of stairs.
