Cons:

Room and bathroom is very small and for 2 nights you only receive 1 morning's coffee. No bathroom mat for the shower and there is a no smoking marijuana policy in place but if you go into the hallway it reeks of marijuana.

Not a place you want to be at !!!!!
Pros:

the room was completely unacceptable and unhygienic. The bedding sheets were visibly dirty and unclean, with hair left on the bed.Furthermore, I discovered a cockroach on the floor, indicating a severe lack of proper housekeeping and pest control.
When I discovered these issues, I immediately called the receptionist for assistance. I was incredibly disappointed by the response: I was flatly told that she could not help me.
