Room was clean but everything else was too sketchy, we didn’t stay.
Pros:

Room itself was clean.

Cons:

Stank of weed everywhere. Front staff wasn’t welcoming. The hallways were old and outdated. Window wouldn’t latch shut and was open when we checked in-room was on first floor so it was concerning. We ended up leaving.

Cons:

Had a dog close in another room and would bark whenever someone used the side door. It was before we went to sleep so really wasn’t that much of a problem.
