Spacious room, but for a price!
Spacious room, but it comes with drawbacks. The main complaint is the garbage container placed right under the stairs, so guests are punished by getting a glimpse of the fragrance just because. The bathroom floor towel was filthy. There was no towel holder for the vanity or shower. There's a round table in the room that we decided not to use because it was shaky and unstable. Breakfast was limited, and the coffee was not good.

Front desk employee was great. The room was clean but after a few hours it smelled like cigarettes. It didnt feel too safe outside.seemed like some people were actually long term residents and not tourists. Too much commotion outside.
