Cons:

The refrigerator didn't work and the sink in the bathroom was stopped up. We put the heat on and it smelled like it was burning and the smoke alarm went off. We had to open all the doors and let the heat run so the smoke alarm wouldn't go off.

Very uncomfortable stay which we cut short
Pros:

Good Location

Cons:

The HVAC unit did not work. We were told there was nothing they could do about it, We had to sleep with the balcony door open. One of our neighbors was smoking marijuana on and off all night which we had to smell. The elevators also smelled from smoking. The entire property is listed as non-smoking. The property was old and run down. The TV did not work properly.
Because of all of this, we decided to cut our 2-day stay short and did not stay our scheduled second night.
This by-far was the worst hotel stay of my life and when we inquired about a refund we were told to contact booking, com who we booked the reservation thru.
