The entire building needs renovation. Outdated furniture and bathroom. There was no hot water to shower. Only the sink had hot water. When I reached out, I was told it would take a while for the hot water to come but I waited for almost an hour and there was no hot water coming. I couldn’t use the WiFi. You have to use the stairs with your luggage to get upstairs’. No hair dryer and no dressing mirror
