Horrible
Pros:

Location is great, especially for a 2 star hotel. 5 minutes walking and you are downtown. The beds were the only thing we liked about the hotel.

Cons:

They don’t know hygiene at all. It was very gross. My wife has light blonde hair and I have short brown hair, the bathroom was full of mold and long brown women hair on the floor everywhere I looked. It stank because the chimney had not been cleaned. If it rains the smell of the chimney is extreme, its like an ashes smell. You have a shower curtain, but the shower is so low to the ground that the whole area around your anckles is open so the whole bathroom gets wet massively. The towels were dirty and had a lot of stains in them. When closing or opening the door, the door got stuck and made a really loud noise which kept us awake when someone of us had to go to the bathroom at night. The curtains of the room are not long enough and the light on the balcony kept on all night so your room was fully lighted the whole night. Worst stay ever, will never come back and won’t recommend anyone.

King room
Pros:

The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the view was amazing. The bathroom was beautiful. Loved how it had a main lamp and then a little small light right below that I could turn on for reading a book. Had a king room and it was amazing! Will definitely be booking here again!

My stay sucked. I will not stay there again. They are plenty of nice rooms there and other locations and where she stuck
Pros:

The only thing good was a breakfast

Cons:

They put us in a room that almost hung over the street very noisy from traffic with 30 foot of glass windows in July. The air conditioner couldn’t keep up the room was filthy. Then the maintenance man discharge Freon into the air and it came right up into our room and gave me a splitting headache. So they put us in another room by the elevator with people outside our door all hours of the night, moving stuff around and getting on the elevator and their staff their housekeeping were rolling carts back-and-forth. It wasn’t quiet at all. The first room was so noisy. We couldn’t even sleep. And hot hot the lobby was hot and without air-conditioning .
