Pros:

I liked that I had everything close and the room was clean.

Cons:

I did not like the air inside the room, was quite heavy and the room was hot. The laundry was not working at that time and the hair dryer was broken.

Cons:

Creo que no venden lo que ofrecen. Se suponía que la habitación tenía secador y bañera de hidromasaje, cosa que no he visto por ningún lado. Estaba todo un poco sucio y olía bastante raro. Los muebles daban vergüenza, todos rotos. Parece que estaba abandonado.

Stanza per chi non vuole spendere troppo, consapevole che avrà molto poco.
Pros:

L'hotel si trova davanti al supermercato Trader Joe's, abbastanza rifornito e con buoni prezzi.
Presenza di macchinetta del caffè con alcune cialde, frigobar e microonde. Presenza di una piccola cabina armadio con una mensola.

Cons:

La stanza era piuttosto sporca, gli asciugamani e lenzuola non sembravano sterilizzati. Sporco in terra, nel bagno e negli infissi. Nel corridoio delle stanze c'era continuamente puzzo di chiuso e/o di cibo.
Non era presente un armadio, ma solo una scrivania ed un poggia valigia per una persona sola. Stanza piuttosto buia. Non erano presenti persiane o tende, ma unicamente le tende alla "veneziana" guaste che non garantivano il buio durante la notte ed alle prime luci dell' alba.
