Just okay.

The room smelled like cigarette smoke, shower drain did not work and the fridge was moldy. If you’re booking for more than 1 person, be prepared to ask for more pillows because I only had 2 between my partner and I and they were totally different in comfort level and brand. I just needed a cheap stay, so it wasn’t the end of the world, but lack of cleanliness was a bit disturbing. Staff were super kind and attentive though!!!
