The room was tiny, but very clean. Housekeeping did an amazing job cleaning the room. The front staff were very helpful and always polite . The building is very old, the elevator is kinda scary, and the restaurant is depressing, very empty and old. In general I would stay here again if I’m traveling on a budget.
