I spent 3 nights and I regret booking. The room was nothing close to the pictures used for advertising. The room had a strong smell. The bathroom had a permanent smell. Parking was very unorganize

Overall very loud
Very loud neighbors and when we told the front desk, they seemed to be aware of it but not make effort to fix the situation. Above us we have construction workers who were drinking and out late on the balcony and then would be up around 6 and could hear each step and noise they made.
You can hear cars passing by and cars being locked. No noise buffer

Breakfast was amazing. Room had a very musty smell. I wanted to open the window in the bathroom, but it was so caked with dirt I couldn’t bring myself to touch it. The rest of the room was mostly clean. Walls and ceiling are very thin. Don’t plan on sleeping much if you are a light sleeper.

The staff were friendly. The tv didn't work well (the picture was less thana quarter the sizeof the screen) and the bath towels were terrible - stained, small and very old. The shower had calcium build up so the water flow was somewhat blocked. The guests above us stomped about afyer midnight, but that's not the fault of the hotel.
