Great & helpfull staff! Making the best of the old stuff they have to work with.
Pros:

Staff were nice enough to get me out of a room full of dust mites and smoke smell no further questions asked. The room they got me was a little modernised, new carpet, thermostat shower (not hot at 4:30 in the morning tho ) the staff were really friendly and super helpfull!

Cons:

The price is simply too much for a room that stinks. I was lucky to get an other room this time. But if there are no other options you're f...ed if you have sensitive lungs.
The shower was luke-warm at 4:30 in the morning.
The doorstep between the room and the bathroom was not screwed in properly. Stepping on it barefoot, a screw hurt me.
The bed has been back & forth so much there was a hump in the carpet. Once i got used to it . I didn't trip over it anymore.
The head board on the bed is just one of those loose things on a few sticks that thay shovved behind it, to kinda make an overused old bed look like something decent. My back did not lie tho . The bed is not decent. I could feel the springs in my back and I needed to adjust with pillows for night 2.
Not going here again. There are more comfortable places for less money.
